Memere's Meat Pie Recipe

AKA: "Tourtiere"   in French

This top secret family recipe, less one key ingredient, is offered for the masses...

Needs:
One prefab crust (the kind you refrigerate, unroll, and use. (Pillsbury makes it easy.)
One pound lean ground pork
One pound lean ground beef
One can of unflavored bread crumbs
One medium white onion, diced small
Salt and Pepper to taste (I now use sea salt in everything)
"Bell's Seasoning" in the yellow box (or you can substitute poultry seasoning from any other maker)


Action: 
First Day
Mash the pork and the beef and the onion together in the pot.
Pour water over the top of the mash until it is covered by an inch and a half.
Mix it all up again this time with a generous amount of Bells Poultry seasoning.  (at least a table spoon)

Boil it for like three ours or until it reaches the consistency of new concrete and is a very fine particulate beef/pork mix.  You got to stir it and bust up the clumps every 15 or 20 minutes.

When you reach the loose concrete phase pull it off the stove and mix in the bread crumbs until you get the mix a bit solid like loose meat loaf.

Taste it and add salt, pepper, and seasoning the mash to taste 
Please Note: You can shorten this all up, and your life as well, by removing this next step... the refrigerate and remove the fat Frisbee section...  
Put the meat mash in the refrigerator over night

Second Day 
Remove the "Fat Frisbee" that forms on the top of the meat in the morning

Glop the meaty mixture into the prefab pie crusts pinch the edges closed

Bake it at 350 until the meat in the middle is warm or until the crust is brown on top

Serve it up hot and garnish with Ketchup, and smile lots!  

This is not CHOLESTEROL, nor HEART HEALTHY, nor in DIABETIC approved!

Eating this will actually cost you about an hour of your life per slice, so enjoy it while you can.  

I will be doing the same all by myself this year!

Happy Holidays!
