Meat Pie

A meat pie is so simple yet so delicious. Here is a simple recipe that can spice up a simple dinner for 2 or your family. It's so quick, you'll prefer making this one than buying ready made.. After all you get to stuff it with what you want!

First, you'll want to make the best crust, check out my recipe for a simple and amazing crust.

For 1 Pie approx 11" - 6 servings

Filling Ingredients:
Preheat your oven at 365 degrees f

125g Ground beef lean or semi-lean
125g Ground Pork
2 onions finely chopped
3/4 garlic cloves finely chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp all spice
1/2 tsp mustard powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 tbsp EVOO
2 tbsp cooking cream or crème fraiche
Pepper freshly ground

In a nonstick saucepan, heat up EVOO on High and saute onions, garlic till slightly translucent, do not burn. Add both meats and mix well with a wooden spatula breaking the meat in small pieces, continuously on med-high to saute the meat and not boil it, as it rejects it's liquid. Add all you dried spices, leaving the cooking cream or crème fraiche till the end. Once cooked, add the cream and gently stir. At this point, your meat should be cooked and you can taste to make sure you are satisfied prior to baking. Don't over-salt as once the ingredients mingle in the oven, the taste changes.

Continue cooking on med-low until most of the liquid is evaporated... You don't want a soggy pie. Once completed, set aside and let cool off for a few minutes.

Once your pie plate is prepared as per the recipe, gently scoop with a deep slotted spoon, transfer the meat onto the uncooked pie base and gently flatten.

Once your pie is complete, cover the top with the top pie dough and follow the instructions indicated in the recipe:

- Make holes for steam

- Egg wash (see recipe step 6)

- Lightly sprinkle with a dash or salt 

Once done, place in preheated oven on the center rack and cook for 40 minutes. The crust should be nice and golden. Remove from the oven and set aside about 5 minutes before serving.

Enjoy
Sincerely
