So nice that someone thought to share this recipe. A very traditional pie at Easter. My family makes this recipe also, but we also add in Pepperoni (chopped) and freshly ground black pepper. Gives it a great flavor.
Every family has variations to this recipe because it was considered a "poor man's pie" many years ago. People used whatever they had on hand in the house or whatever they could afford.
I've found that no matter how many different versions of meat,this is a wonderful pie and a great tribute to our Italian ancestors.
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.
P.S. My Mom always makes her's using a homemade "bread" instead of pie crust.
Two layers of the bread dough as substitution for the pie crust.
A little bit more work as it is a yeast dough and does have to rise (just once).
I personally like the pie crust version.
(and it is a lot easier too)
