Meat pie. This French Canadian meat pie is hearty, satisfying, and easy to make so it's a great choice for a holiday main course. Visually impressive, relatively affordable, and best served at room temperature, so a tourtiere doesn't require any kind of precise timing. I got the recipe from my husband's mother.

It's yummy and pretty easy to make too! Best served fresh, but you can also make ahead and freeze or refrigerate. When pork is cooked remove fat from pan. You can have Meat pie using 14 ingredients and 9 steps. Here is how you achieve it.
