Recipe #12 Mom's Meat Pie

This recipe was passed down to us from Kern's Mom......

5 lbs Ground Pork (Lean)

1/2 lb Ground Beef

1 yellow onion (chopped)

pinch of salt, pepper & thyme

1/4 tsp ground allspice

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/8 tsp celery salt

1/8 tsp onion salt

Fill large pot with water just to cover the meat (approximately 4 cups) Simmer until liquid is half - should take about 2 to 2 1/2 hours (allow 1/2 hour to start)

Note: "Do not play with the meat while it is simmering, JUST LET IT SIMMER"

Use a pure lard pie crust recipe of your choice. (Tenderflake recipe is great)

Spoon mixture into a deep dish pie shell. In a small bowl combine egg yolk and 1 tablespoon water to make egg wash; brush edge of crust with wash, then carefully add top crust and seal edges. Make several slits in top crust; brush with remaining egg mixture.

Bake in the lower 1/3 of the oven at 400F until golden brown (about 20 minutes to 30 minutes)
