Description

Ingredients

• 1 lb lean ground pork
• 1/2 lb lean ground beef
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 c water
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp dried thyme, crushed
• 3/4 tsp ground sage
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
• 1/2 tsp ground cloves
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie

Directions

• 1Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). 2In a saucepan, combine pork, beef, onion, garlic, water, salt, thyme, sage, black pepper and cloves. Cook over medium heat until mixture boils; stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and simmer until meat is cooked, about 10 minutes. 3Spoon 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. 4Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, remove foil and return to oven. Bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Let cool 10 minutes before slicing.
