Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1 pound ground beef (or combination of beef and pork, or beef, pork & veal)
  • 1 small yellow onion (chopped)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cloves
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 pie crusts (Pillsbury refrigerated)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 400 Fahrenheit.

  • Step 2: Place all ingredients except breadcrumbs and pastry in a saucepan , bring to a boil and cook, uncovered, for 20 minutes.

  • Step 3: Remove from heat, add 3 to 4 spoonfuls of breadcrumbs and let stand for 10 minutes. If the fat is sufficiently absorbed by the breadcrumbs do not add more, otherwise add more in the same manner until fat is absorbed.

  • Step 4: Cool mixture and spoon into pastry-lined pie plate and place pastry for top crust over top, wrap excess top crust under bottom crust edge, press edges together to seal, flute attractively and cut slits in top crust.

  • Step 5: Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

  • NOTE: Cooked tourtière may be frozen for 4 to 5 months and does not need to be thawed before reheating. To reheat, place your frozen tourtiere (covered in foil) in a medium oven and bake until a knife inserted in the centre is hot when you pull it out
