Notes: Since we had a large family my mom baked our meat pie in her largest cake pan; nowadays that would be two 9 x 13" pans. She did not use crust since my Dad didn't like meat pie with crust, so she would just grease the pan with Crisco. Today I spray with Pam cooking spray.
My dad didn't like a lot of cheeses in the pie; many meat pies do add Basket Cheese. My mom cooked my dad's family style pie from Naples.
This was only made at Easter time and on Good Friday. In those days we weren't allowed to eat meat on Friday's; she would make it then so we wouldn't eat the pie before Easter morning!
In our house that pie lasted about an hour after the first cut!
