Classic Quebec Style Pork and Beef Tourtiere

This traditional French-Canadian meat pie is a staple for Christmas Eve and winter gatherings. Featuring a savory blend of ground pork and beef seasoned with warm spices like cinnamon and cloves, it is encased in a flaky, golden crust.

Ingredients

1 lb ground pork
1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large potato, peeled and grated
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/2 cup beef broth
1 package (15 oz) refrigerated pie crusts (double crust)
1 large egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the ground pork, ground beef, onion, and garlic.

  3. 3

    Cook until the meat is browned and onions are soft, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon as it cooks.

  4. 4

    Drain any excess fat from the skillet if necessary.

  5. 5

    Stir in the grated potato, salt, pepper, cinnamon, cloves, and beef broth.

  6. 6

    Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.

  7. 7

    Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.

  8. 8

    Unroll one pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie dish.

  9. 9

    Spoon the meat filling into the crust, spreading it out evenly.

  10. 10

    Place the second pie crust over the top. Trim the excess dough, press the edges together, and crimp to seal.

  11. 11

    Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.

  12. 12

    Whisk the egg with 1 teaspoon of water and brush the mixture over the top crust for a shiny, golden finish.

  13. 13

    Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

  14. 14

    Allow the pie to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing to help the filling set.
