Mary Morissette’s French Canadian Meat Pie

Mary Morrisette’s Canadian meat pie

From the kitchen of Melissa Pappas

This is my Great Aunt’s recipe. The pie is traditionally served on New Year’s Day.

3 pounds of lean pork (shoulder)

1 pound of lean beef

1 onion

Place in large pan.

Season to taste with salt, pepper,

cinnamon, and/or cloves.

Stir meat with enough water to cover.

Cook for one hour

When meat is cooked, skim off top fat.

Add ½ cup to 1-cup bread crumbs.

Stir and place in pie shell

Cover with top crust

This pie is served hot.

Partly cook it if intending to freeze it or eat at a later time.
