Beef Tourtisre French Canadian Meat Pie Recipe
Ingredients:
Salt
Pepper
1 whole store-bought pie crust
1 whole store-bough pastry
1/4 tsp of garlic flavored salt
1/4 tsp of cinnamon powder
1/4 tsp of all spice
1 pc of onion (large); minced
1.5 lbs of beef; semi-ground
6 pcs of tomatoes
Instructions:
For this recipe, use only ample amounts of potatoes; then add extra dash of your preferred spices.
In a kitchen pot, boil the potatoes. When cooked and soft, roughly mush up potatoes. Heat up oil then saute onions and beef. Mix in the mashed up potatoes, cinnamon, allspice and salt. Season with pepper.
Turn off stove when beef has browned but has not toughened up yet. Preset oven (400 degrees F). Layer two nine inch pie plates with the store bough pastry. Remove beef mixture from pan then strain through a sieve.
Spoon enough amounts into each pie plate. Cover the top with another store bough pastry and pinch holes in to let the steam escape. Bake pies for forty five minutes until tops are golden in color. Makes for two Tourtisres.
