Anyone have a good recipe for French Meat Pie?

Answer 1

1 lb. ground pork
Salt and pepper to taste
1 med. diced onion
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
1 med. potato, cooked and mashed
Pie crust mix - 2 shells

Place onions, spices and pork in a fry pan. Add water so you can see it. Cook over medium heat until all the water is gone (approximately 1 1/2 hours).
While the pork is cooking, boil and mash your potato and set aside.

Make 2 pie crusts and line pie plate with one for bottom crust.

When the water is gone from the fry pan, add your mashed potato and mix well. Let cool and place in the pie shell. Add top crust and bake at 375 degrees for about 30 minutes, or until crust is browned.

Answer 2

French Meat Pie
9 x inch pie shells, not baked
2 1/2 lb ground chuck (1/2 ground pork if you like)
1 sm onion finely chopped*
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp salt
1 x chopped clove garlic*
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground cloves

Combine all but the pie shells in a heavy saucepan, just cover with boiling water. Cook slowly until meat loses its pink color and water has evaporated by half. Remove from heat and stir in enough dry bread crumbs to make a moist mixture. ( 1/2 to 3/4 cup). Pour into 2 - 9" pie shells, cover with top crust, flute edges and cut steam vents in top. Bake in preheated oven at 450 for about 30
minutes. (425 for glass pans)
*You can substitute 2 tbsp dry onion and 1/2 tsp. dried garlic for fresh

Answer 3

Tourtière à mon arrière grand-mère
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 clove garlic -- minced per pound of meat
1 pound ground pork -- not too lean (more than 10%)
one small onion -- minced
1/2 tsp salt
white pepper/savory/ground cloves -- roughly 1/4 tsp per lb.
water -- (as much as fits into your hand )

Sauté the meat gently until it is lightly browned, no pink, and very little liquid is left (if it looks like it will cook too long while waiting for the liquid to evaporate, drain some it).
Place into prepared pie plates.
Bake in 350F oven for 30-45 minutes, until surface is browned. Serve with pickled beets.
