Tourtiere is a French Canadian classic dish that is traditionally serviced Christmas eve. If you’ve never had tourtière as a family tradition, this one is so easy and so delicious, we’re guessing that this one will be it!

Directions

Pan fry in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat ground beef, ground pork, onion, garlic, celery, thyme, sage, cloves and cinnamon for 10 minutes. DON’T DRAIN. Remove from heat. Stir in leftover mashed potatoes, minced fresh parsley.

Spoon into a 9-inch (23 cm) pie shell. Top with second pie crust and cut steam vents in top crust.

Bake in 400°F (200°C) oven until hot and golden brown, 35 to 45 minutes.
