Spoon the meat mixture into the pie crust. Place top crust on top of pie and pinch edges to seal. Cut slits in top crust so steam can escape. Cover edges of pie with strips of aluminum foil.

     This is wonderful and a true tortiere just as it is presented. As a traditional Canadian dish, the pork is ground pork butt (have your butcher trim the fat before grinding it). It becomes something entirely different when you substitute different meats :(. - 2/14/11

     Great! I made a few changes... I added ground turkey for some of the sausage and beef. Thawed frozen chopped spinach added some color and healthy benefits. Instead of water, I used low sodium, 99% fat free beef broth and flour and simmered to thicken. YUM! - 1/18/09

     Not sure if my Tourtière recipe is original, but I use all pork, no beef and diced or shredded potatoes, celery and different spices (not included in your recipe) in mine. I've used my recipe for 32 years. It is a Quebec, French Canadian recipe where it originated. It is very filling and tasty. - 4/28/17

     i doubled the amount of onions and garlic and put more of the spices in than the recipe called for. we loved it! will definitely try the beef broth next time. - 9/13/11

     WOW! This is really good. I used 93% lean turkey instead of pork, a large onion in place of the med. one. I used the prior posters suggestion of chicken broth and added 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire and 1/2 tsp. arrowroot. In the words of my husband..this WILL be made again! =) Thank you for sharing. - 6/16/11

     we add a few ritz crackers to thicken, but also love the option of adding spinach, broth and flour to thicken to reduce the cals and carbs--love tourtiere! - 12/19/10
