tourtiere meat pie

Ground beef meat pie with a flaky puff pastry double crust pie is filled with ground beef cooked with vegetables and seasonings. The ultimate comfort food. 

Ground Beef Meat Pie

butter

cup onions, finely chopped

tablespoons garlic, minced

tablespoon parsley, finely chopped

lb. ground beef

2 medium potatoes, peeled and grated

2 carrots, peeled and grated

Worcestershire sauce

soy sauce

salt

black pepper

breadcrumbs

9-inch double crust pie dough

egg wash)

Heat butter in a large skillet over medium high heat until the butter starts to sizzle and shimmer. Add in onions, garlic, parsley and ground beef. Stir well with a spatula and cook for 5-6 minutes until meat browns and is no longer pink.

Add in potatoes, carrots, Worcestershire sauce, dark soy sauce, salt and pepper. Stir well to cook evenly for another 2-3 minutes. Stir in breadcrumbs until fully combined.

Remove the skillet from the heat and let the meat filling cool down completely for about an hour, up to overnight.

Prepare the Meat Filling:

Transfer the first dough disc onto a 9-inch pie pan and gently press down to form into the bottom pie crust. Slowly transfer the meat filling from the skillet into the dough-lined pie pan and use a spatula to spread evenly across.

Carefully place the second dough disc over the filling as the top pie crust. Make sure it covers the pie pan entirely. Gently press the edges of the top crust and the edges of bottom crust together, and crimp with your fingers to seal. Make 5-6 slits on top of the top pie crust for ventilation.

Gently brush the egg wash over the top crust and edges. If your oven is not ready at this point, store the assembled meat pie in the fridge to prevent the pie crust from disintegrating (the butter in the dough melts quickly at room temperature).

Bake the pie for 20 minutes until the edges of the pie crust turn golden brown. Then, reduce heat to 350F, and bake for another 40 minutes until the rest of the top crust is golden brown.

Remove the pie pan from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour. Serve warm.

Assemble and Bake the Pie:

Sam, just a quick note to tell you this meat pie was scrumptously delicious.  This last time I didn't have pie crusts, so I used pizza dough and altered the recipe a bit. I added in marinara sauce and made it into a meat pie calzone with some mozzarella.  Oh it turned out delicious...give it a try...loved it!!!!!!!!!
I anxiously await your next recipe.

Hello.  My family has made meat pie (similar to a Welsh Pasty) since the 1800's.  However, we use 2-3 pounds of top round steak cut in 1/2" pieces, 1 large yellow diced and 4 -5 russet potatoes - peeled and also diced in 1/2" pieces, 2-3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper, 1 cup water and top and bottom pie crust in a 9 X 13" dish.  Takes about 3-4 hours to bake in a 350 degree F oven.  The one think I really wanted to say about any meat pie is - let it cool on the counter over night.  I can tell you how many times I have put it still a little bit warm into the fridge and the next day, thanks to a chemical change - it was sour as a bottle of lemon juice.  However, will have to try yours for when my grand kids come.  Thank you for sharing it.

I made this meat pie and added some peas and celery to the mix.  I had some pre-baked pie shells in the freezer so used them as the bottom crust.  Instead of using a top crust of pastry I used a combination of Shredded old cheddar with Bread crumbs and Butter.  Wow it was delicious!

I was so looking for a meat pie recipe like this.
This pie is absolutely delicious and my family LOVED it.
This will definitely be a keeper.
The only thing different I did was add a cup of beef gravy and only used 1 tsp salt and 1/4 cup
of the breadcrumbs.
Once again......great recipe!!!!!
