Originally from my grandma's recipe box, the secret of this delectable Christmas treasure is found in the ground cloves and chicken seasoning. We've always made our tourtieres en grand (in large quantity), as they freeze great making them a terrific quick fix throughout the busy holiday season!

This is the recipe my grandmother used to make. It only uses pork for the pie and is delicious. I make one for my father every Christmas Eve and he loves it!

This is a hearty and savory meat pie. Ground pork is cooked up with onions and garlic until brown and crumbly, then simmered in broth with spices and parsley. This delicious filling is then spooned into a pastry crust, topped with another crust and baked. Serve with garlic mashed potatoes.

This recipe was given to me as part of a bridal shower gift. My husband loves meat and pies, so he was practically in heaven when I made this for him! I have also used a refrigerated pie crust and it is just as good. Originally submitted to PieRecipe.com.

Some time ago, when I was working at a newspaper, a co-worker happened to bring a meat pie for lunch. The aroma was familiar to me, and I asked for a taste. To my amazement, it was the same pie my grandmother used to serve when I was a youngster! I copied the recipe, and I have been enjoying French Meat Pie ever since. It's still delicious!

Pork Liver Pudding

Submitted by: Sandy H. 
Steaming hot ground pork and liver, baked with spices and sauce. The liver mixture can also be made into cakes or patties and fried in butter in a frying pan. The mixture is a little bit runny so don't shape patties, just drop it from a spoon like pancakes.
