Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground pork
- ½ pound lean ground beef
- 1 small onion finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 large russet potato peeled & cubed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground sage
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ cup beef broth or beef stock
- 1-2 tablespoons bread crumbs if needed
- 1 double pie crust 9 inch
Instructions
- Bring potato cubes to a boil in salted water. Simmer for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain well and mash.
- While potatoes are cooking, brown ground beef, pork, onion, and garlic until no pink remains using a spoon to break it up. Add remaining ingredients (including mashed potatoes) except for pie crust and bread crumbs.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes or until thickened. Add 1 tablespoon of breadcrumbs to help the mixture hold together if needed. Cool for 20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Line a deep-dish pie plate with the dough and add the meat pie filling.
- Add top crust and seal edges with a fork or your fingers. Add a few slits to allow steam to escape. If desired, whisk 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of water and brush the egg wash over the crust.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes or until bubbly and crust is golden.

Notes
- To save time use a prepared pie crust and premake the filling. Or premake the entire pie and freeze (before baking) for later! Then just bake as directed.
- To avoid bursting at the seams, cut slits into the top of the pie to allow steam to escape.
- Let the pie sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the juices to reabsorb and the pie to better hold its shape when sliced and served
