Piecrust:
4 ounces shortening
all-purpose flour
1/2 tablespoon salt
4.5 ounces cold water
Meat filling:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound ground pork
1 pound ground sausage (choose your favorite kind, I use country but some people like spicy)
1 onion, minced
3/4 cup grated potato
chopped garlic
green onion
Salt
Pepper
Allspice
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Pie Crust: Mix flour and shortening until pie crust consistency (sorry, that's the best I can do). Add salt and cold water. Add all the cold water at once and mix delicately. Form a ball and refrigerate for 2 hours.
Once dough is chilled, flour your worktop. Divide dough in half. Roll out 2 pie crusts. One should be slightly larger than the other, this will be your bottom crust.
Meat Filling: Heat the oil in a large pot. Add the pork and onion, add green onion and garlic to taste. Cook over medium-low heat for 45 minutes, stirring often. When pork is cooked remove fat from pan. Add grated potato, salt, pepper, and allspice, to taste. (I used 1/2 tsp allspice, lots of pepper, and about 1/2 tsp salt) Stir well, and let mixture rest for 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter the bottom of 9-inch pie plate. Place bottom crust in pie plate and poke several holes in it. Make sure an ample amount of crust spills over the edges of the pie plate. Fill the crust with the meat mixture. Level with a spatula. Wet edges of bottom crust and place top crust over meat mixture. Press top crust onto meat mixture to eliminate any air holes. Beat together the egg and the milk to make an egg wash. Pinch the crust edges together and brush the top crust with the egg wash.
Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F and continue baking for 15 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
Slice and serve hot or cold.

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

We LOVE meat pies. I have made something similar, but then placed it in a prebaked pumpkin, stick it back in oven to finish off.
I have a roast in the slow cokker right now. I will make it into a pie by cutting up the meat, potatoes and carrots. To it I add some frozen peas and a can of mushroom soup. This mixture then goes into a pie shell with crust.

DianaMT,
I'm slow cooking today too! Hubby has the sniffles so we're making crock pot chicken noodle soup.
I went a little crazy though...aside from the chicken soup I've got a blackberry pie, huckleberry pie (all from scratch with berries we picked ourselves) and 2 loaves of sourdough rising. I love my kitchen! |

Man! I want to eat at Mary's house too! We frequently go to a Scottish Fesitval in Estes Park in the fall and we always get the meat pies for lunch and a glass of Guiness. Mmmmm! Yum! This sounds very similar to them so I'm going to give it a try.
Diana, I make Beef Pot Pies out of my left over roast too. My recipe is similar to yours except I just make a brown gravy instead of the mushroom soup. Easy Peasy!
Now I'm craving these!

I can't wait to try this!
Thank you for the pic! I am soooo happy to see your pie crust - it looks so yummy but not too June Cleaver-y
I try soooo hard to make those perfect looking pie crusts like my great-grandma did and mine never look like that! Good thing my hubby says the worst my crust looks, the better they taste! |
