Tourtière

Meat Pie

Tourtière

There are many variants of tourtière and this one is the most iconic version. Filled with ground beef and pork, covered in crust and baked in the oven, this dish is often enjoyed with hunter sauce or ketchup.

For an added kick, add some grated cheddar cheese before the top layer of crust is added. Stuffed crust tourtière? Yes!
