Dinogo Community Feedback and Praise

"This pie is fantastic," says one member of the Dinogo community. "Perfectly seasoned. I used instant potato flakes to thicken the filling and doubled the recipe to make two pies. From now on, this will be my go-to meat pie recipe!"

"This meat pie truly captures the essence of 'comfort food,'" shares jshell43. "It's so simple to prepare, it practically makes itself. Just pair it with a fresh garden salad and dinner is ready!"

"We swapped half of the ground pork for ground beef," notes pdm. "This recipe was easy, delicious, and brought back memories of the French Canadian meat pie we’ve enjoyed for years."

Ingredients List

• 1 medium potato, peeled and cubed

• ½ pound ground beef

• ½ pound ground pork

• ½ cup chopped onion

• ⅓ clove garlic, chopped

• ½ teaspoon mustard powder

• ½ teaspoon dried thyme

• ¼ teaspoon dried sage

• ¼ teaspoon ground cloves

• 1 teaspoon salt

• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

• ¼ cup water

• 1 (15 ounce) package refrigerated pie crusts

Instructions

Prepare all your ingredients. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Place the potato in a saucepan and add enough water to fully submerge it. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potato until tender, about 5 minutes.

Drain the potatoes, mash them, and set aside.

In the meantime, crumble the ground beef and pork into a large saucepan. Add the onion, garlic, mustard powder, thyme, sage, cloves, salt, and black pepper. Pour in water and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the meat is evenly browned.

Remove the pan from heat and stir in the mashed potatoes.

Place one pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Add the meat mixture, then cover with the second pie crust.

Trim off any excess dough, then use a fork to press the edges together, sealing the crust.

Make a few small slits in the top crust with a knife to allow steam to escape. Cover the edges with aluminum foil to prevent burning.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
