Tourtiere 1959 is a French Canadian meat pie that has been around since the 17th century. It is a dish that is traditionally enjoyed during the holiday season, but it can be eaten all year round. The pie is made with a flaky pastry crust and a filling of ground pork, onion, spices, and potatoes. It is hearty, savory, and delicious, and it is a great way to warm up on a chilly night.

Instructions

1.In a large skillet, cook the ground pork over medium heat until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
2.Add the chopped onion and garlic and continue to cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
3.Stir in the light cream or evaporated milk, salt, pepper, dried mustard, and nutmeg.
4.Add the mashed boiled potato and hot sauce (if using).
5.Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes until thickened.
6.Pour the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
7.Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
8.Roll out a pie crust and place it on top of the dish, pressing the edges down to seal.
9.Cut a few slits in the top of the crust to allow steam to escape and bake the tourtiere for 30-40 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
