The satisfied smiles and empty pie dish testified to the delicious flavour of this dish. It tasted just like my grandmaman's. The only thing I did different was to grate the potato instead of cube it. Thanks for the memories, and a great recipe!

Meat Pie was some thing that my mother would make every christmas and thanksgiving. She would make 10 pies because everyone loved it so much & wanted leftovers. Since my mother passed away I have searched for a recipe that was close to hers so i could work with it. I changed the following *Used potatoes(5) and boiled them to mash them to mix in with the beef and pork, also NUTMEG IS THE KEY, it adds sooo much more flavor. Great recipe!

I definitely recommend grating the potato rather than cubing it. It made a world of difference in binding the meat together. I also added some leftover mashed potato and it worked beautifully. Hint. Use more potato!

This wasn't good and I made it for xmas eve for 12 people! The meat has no binding so it came out of the oven looking beautiful and then looked like a big pile of ground beef when served! Really it tasted pretty much the same way. The only good thing is i really like the tasst of allspice and it tasted like allspice with ground beef

A wonderful recipe! I did change a couple of things though; an extra pound of meat (venison), dried clove instead of fresh and I used water instead of beef bouillion when cooking. Turned out great, thanks for sharing the recipe!

This is sooo good! I made it as written and everyone really enjoyed it. As it cooks the flavors just come out. I will definately be making this again.

This is fantastic, and so easy. I have made this many, many times for my family, and we always enjoy it. I cook the meat mixture into two pies. And have added a finely diced carrot once or twice, just for a change and it was ok, but better without.
