Flavour was great. Only thing I did different was I threw the mixture in the food processor to give it a smoother texture before baking it. YUM!

Incredibly yummy. I cut the recipe down to make 2 pies because it was my first attempt at tourtiere. But next time I just might make the full recipe for the freezer!!

Good Flavor to the pie, but I still find them all a little dry. I am not a big fan of Ketchup, so I tried it with a little HP, is was ok. A friend told me to mix kethup and worchestershire together. I think i will try that next.

Excellent recipe very traditional flavour we loved it. Only reason I did not rate it a full five was the lack of binder. I used mashed potato because I remember my Aunt and Meme doing that and it turned out perfect. Thank you so much for sharing.

Husband says I could make this once a week. I made a few modifications, I nixed the water. Used a chicken boillion cube and added some left over mashed potatoes along with a cup of peas and a cup of corn. I had on hand a lb of ground beef and a 1.3 lbs of ground pork and one large sweet onion so it was scaled down a bit. 2/3 kids ate it willingly and husband had 3rds.

I made this appetizer style using puff pastry circles..and folding them perogie style.. sort of a French Canadian "sausage roll".. a bit of work.. but a nice touch to add a bit of "home" to the holidays.. Nice flavour to the meat even though I didn't have the chicken flavouring. I did a bay leaf to the cooking water and I added some mashed potato to the mixture once cooled like my did...I will make this again..

I've never made tourtiere before so I was a little concerned. My pere (orginally from St. Jerome) said it reminded him of home. First time I made it it was a little crumbly so I added a little mashed potatoes as a binder as previous reviewers had. Worked great, didn't even notice the potatoes. I've been waiting to make this all year (only make it for Christmas dinner along with turkey, maple pecan pie, etc.). Have some "La tire d'erable" to end the meal!

Hallelujah! People have begged for my toutière for years, and I never had a recipe to give them! (pinch of this...you know, like grand-maman!). This is so close to mine, I'm going to pass it on (with my little pinches here and there). Try dried poultry seasoning and garlic (powder or other) (to taste!) instead of the liquid chicken seasoning. Merçi!

Not the way my Mother-in-Law makes pies. She uses a whole roast beef and pork, boiled and the shredded, making sure all the fat is gone. Chopped onions and small diced potatoes. Everyone in New Brunswick swears by her receipe.

This is an excellent recipe. My boyfriend, who had never had tourtiere before, LOVED it. My aunt, who was used to a very dry recipe, was skeptical. I made this recipe and she loved it too. It's fantastic.
