I'm from Quebec so I know my tourtieres. This is the most delicious one I have ever had. I used a 2 to 1 pork and veal blend (my preference) though. I'm sure my guests will be asking for this recipe tonight! Thanks for sharing.....

This was pretty good. I thought that the cinnamon was a little overpowering, more for the aroma than the taste. I have been wanting to make this for some time so I appreciate you posting the recipe. Thanks

Sounds like the recipe my Dad uses except he uses very thinly sliced potatoes and does alternate layers of potato and pork in a dutch oven so this pie is about 8 inches deep. Don't remember him using celery but this pie with a top and bottom crust is to die for:) His Grandmothers recipe and probably her's as well.

I halved the recipe to make 1 pie for the 2 of us. Only change I made was a minor one, I left the potatoes cubed and didn't mash them. We loved it. The whole kitchen smells heavenly!

Followed the recipe exactly. Didn't like - maybe I'm just not a fan of tourtiers....

This is exactly what i was looking for. Didn't really time the meat, just cooked until most of the water was gone and didn't measure seasoning. Added to taste what I thought it needed.

This was awesome...just like I remember. I actually love the idea of simmering for three hours...it makes the whole house smell wonderful!

I guess it's one of those foods that you had to grow up with. I didn't care for it.

the texture of this pie is nice, however, i find the amount of clove to be a bit much. i modified this recipe upon first try, adding sage, thyme, onion powder, parsley and dried celery and celery salt. scrumptious-- next time, i would approximately halve the clove- thank you for this recipe 3.75-4.0!

This was an amazing dish! It smelled wonderful all afternoon and the taste was incredible. It is easy to make, even though it takes half a day to make (most of the time you don't need to tend to the dish). I followed the instructions exactly and wouldn't change a thing!

this is very good. I didnt see the chopped celery so it wasnt added and tasted even better than the ones i use to buy at the store(they only made pork pies there)which closed down years ago. very moist

I am so glad I found this recipe! My parents and my meme before them make this every year for Christmas Eve! Now I can surprise my father (a pepe himself now) with one! This pie is the best and oh so good! Everyone should give this recipe a try, you'll surely love it!

I wouldn't say it's the best Tourtiere recipe I've ever tried, but it's not bad. I think I'd prefer a few more ingredients to make it a bit more flavourful A Quebecois collegue at work thought it smelled great though!

I did substitute half ground beef and half pork. Only made one pie for 3 of us. Definitely a keeper for a winter night meal!

Our family makes Tourtiere pie every year, too, but our recipe uses 1/2-2/3 hamburg, and the rest pork. And we cook it up with a chopped onion instead of celery, which I think tastes even better. All in all, this is a great and easy recipe, and is delicious hot out of the oven, or cold out of the fridge the next day! Yum!

This is very similar to what my dad used to make but he mixed pork and veal together. The french name is "tourtière" and it is very very good!

MY Grandmother, (my "meme") made a similar mix of pork and mashed potatoes, but used a bit of sage for flavor and used it to stuff ducks or geese. Magnifique!
