Instructions:
Step 1
In a large skillet, cook the ground pork and beef over medium heat until they are browned and crumbled. Drain any excess fat.
Step 2
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the meat mixture and sauté until the onions are translucent.
Step 3
Stir in the ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground allspice, ground nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the spices to become fragrant.
Step 4
Pour in the beef or chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated, and the mixture is thick and flavorful.
Step 5
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the mashed potatoes until everything is well combined. Adjust the seasoning if needed.
Step 6
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 7
Roll out half of the pastry dough and line a pie dish with it. Add the meat and potato filling.
Step 8
Roll out the remaining pastry dough and place it over the filling. Seal the edges and crimp them with a fork. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Step 9
Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to give it a beautiful golden color when baked.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbling.
Step 11
Allow the Tourtière to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy this Canadian classic with your favorite condiments!
