Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground pork
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 large Yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium Potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground clove
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground allspice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 pieces Pie crusts (for a double-crust pie)
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 2 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the ground pork, ground beef, and diced onion. Cook until the meat is fully browned and the onions are softened, about 10-12 minutes.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic, cinnamon, clove, allspice, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for another 1-2 minutes to bring out the spices' aroma.

Step 3

While the meat mixture cooks, boil the cubed potatoes in a medium pot of salted water until tender, approximately 10-12 minutes. Drain and mash with butter and milk until smooth.

Step 4

Stir the mashed potatoes into the meat mixture until evenly incorporated. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Remove the skillet from heat and allow the filling to cool slightly.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 6

Roll out one pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.

Step 7

Fill the pie crust with the meat mixture, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Place the second pie crust over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal, and cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 9

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 10

For the meat stuffing: Reserve a portion of the meat mixture before adding the mashed potatoes. Place the reserved meat mixture in a small casserole dish, dot the top with 1 tablespoon of butter, and bake alongside the pie for approximately 20 minutes.

Step 11

Allow the pie to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve alongside the meat stuffing as a complete meal.
