 Tourtiere-Canadian Meat Pie | Status Approved | | Name |  Tourtiere-Canadian Meat Pie | | Category | Casseroles & Entrees, Breakfast, Holidays, American, European | | Serves/Yields | 6 servings | | Source | Kate via Helen Dols | | Difficulty | Easy | | Prep. Time | 30 minutes | | Cook Time | 45 minutes | | Introduction | | I am looking for a recipe of Pork Pie that was given to me years ago and I lost. The pie had a flakey crust like a baked pie, and the filling was ground pork and hamburger with savory and I believe a minced potatoe. It was very moist and had a top crust. It was the best Pork Pie I have ever tasted and my family loved it, have not been able to reproduce. This recipe was very old, anyone have one?
Tourtiere-Quebec Meat Pie
My former Mom In law always made this for Christmas morning breakfast as was tradition in her family. Helen's Mother came from Quebec and this was her Mothers recipe.I hope this is what your looking for Debbie. Everyone I have ever served it to loved it.This filling works great for individual meat turnovers also. Good for lunch boxes and quick meals on the go. | | Ingredients | |
