Recipe
From Gale LaJoye.
Ingredients
- 3lbs lean ground pork
- 1.5-2lbs ground beef
- 2 small onions, chopped
- 1/2cup bread crumbs
- Salt, pepper, spices to taste
- 6 pie crusts ( 2 per pie - top and bottom)
Directions
For three 10" pies:
- Mix 3lbs lean ground pork to 1.5-2lbs beef chuck
- In an 8 qt Dutch oven sauté onion in a little oil until soft.
- Add pork/beef mixture and enough water to cover mixture.
- Boil until the mixture turns an even gray color. And skim off excess liquid.
- Add enough bread crumbs to soak up some liquid but keep the mixture moist.
- Note: If using store bought crust, roll out crust to get the right thickness
- Bottom crust should be thinner to cook faster and not so tough
- Heat oven to 400°, turn down to 375°, before putting pies in. Cook until bottom of crust is done.
- Use glass pie plates to check bottom
