Pork Pie is a standard Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve  treat in my predominantly French-Canadian hometown in Maine. It's served with catsup or mustard, tossed salad, and pickles. Simple but wonderful. Top individual servings with catsup or mustard before serving.

Pork Pie

(9 inch) unbaked pie shells

pork

beef

potatoes

salt

black pepper

nutmeg

Brown ground beef and ground pork over medium heat until thoroughly cooked.  Drain off grease.


Mix together cooked meat, potatoes, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.


Line a 9 inch pie dish with pastry.  Spoon pork mixture into pie crust, and top with second pie crust.  Brush top crust with egg white.  Shield crust edges with aluminum foil to prevent burning.


Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 45 minutes.  Remove foil for final 15 minutes of baking to brown edges.


Me and my husband both really enjoyed this recipe!! I did change it up a little bit though. I only used 1 pound ground pork and 1 pound ground beef and I browned the meat with 1 onion chopped, approx. 1 tbls minced garlic and steak seasoning. I also added garlic to the mashed potatoes. This was the perfect amount of filling for 1 pie. Very tasty! Thanks for the great recipe.

Reggie has been looking for that perfect pork-pie recipe. he made the pie for supper tonight and after he took the first bite he said Honey you found the right recipe. I am glad I found this site and especially this recipe. Thank you Laurie. I have never had Pork pie until tonight I love it Sandy

Being of French Canadian heritage 1st generation American my Memere made French meat pie every Christmas. Very similar to this except I season mine with cinnamon poultry seasoning cloves allspice salt and pepper. (ooooh NO ketchup or mustard.) Before baking I brush on one egg with a bit of water and sprinkle with paprika...what a beauitful looking and tasting pie when you're done. Sandy T.

This Pork Pie was very good with mashed potatoes in the mix rather than bread crumbs as in other recipes. Found the meat could have had some chopped onion and some more spices though.

This is so good. One of my favorites. My mother in law makes something very similar but uses bread crumbs instead of mashed potatoes. I use the boxed mashed potatoes to make it easier and faster.

If Husband picks at something with little interest (he'll eat ANYTHING) I know there's something wrong... I thought the nutmeg might be nice but it just tasted weird. I used one pie shell as a lid to cut down on calories. I added so much seasoning - garlic onion powder Worcestershire sauce - but it still wasn't great. I seriously doubt I will make this again. It was edible at least. Sorry.

This is the second Christmas now that I decided to make this pie! So it is REALLY good! People loved it! Hope they will do so this time too.:-)) Thanks Laurie!

I thought this was a good and unique dish. But I have to admit that it is just one of those dishes I will probably never make again.
