Directions: |
Directions::Put pork in saucepan and cook till meat is browned; drain. Add enough water almost to the top of the meat - add onion and spices; put on low and simmer about 3 hours. Before I put mashed potatoes into meat mixture, I drain off some of the liquid, trying first to get the fat off the top. Save a little liquid on the side in case you need to add a little back (if it seems too dry). Mix mashed potatoes into the meat mixture, and put into pie shell and bake @ 425 till crust in brown. (You can also keep tasting it while cooking in the saucepan till you like the flavor.)
Number Of Servings: 2 pies |

Notes: You can half the recipe for one pie; or I make 2 and freeze one before I bake it. Then thaw it out and bake as usual. I always put a little milk on the top of my crust before it goes in the over as it helps it to get a nice brown color! Either you like it or you don't! Having grown up with it every Christmas, I love meat pie!!
