Cape Cod French Meat Pie

As the sun begins to slowly sneak away back towards the Equator, our desire for comfort food returns. One of our favorite dinners is French Meat Pie. Our Pastor at Holy Trinity Church is famous for his recipe, but it is top secret. So here is one of our favorite customers' recipes courtesy of Louise Taupier:

Ingredients

1/2 lb lean hamburger
2 1/2 lb lean ground pork
1 cup water
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
salt to taste
freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions

One day before baking, brown meat in large skillet. Stirring with fork, slowly add the water and onions. Cook about one hour until moist, but not watery. Add seasonings and refrigerate over-night.

Louise used to make her own pie crusts, but since the invention of frozen Pillsbury Pie Crusts, why bother?! (Especially since she makes about 12 pies at a time for the holidays.)

The next day roll pie crust into pie pan. Fill with meat mixture. Cover with another pie crust and bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes.

Of course, Joe loves to serve it with beef gravy. Thank you Mrs. Taupier for this recipe!
