Cape Breton Meat Pie is a traditional Canadian dish that originated in the province of Nova Scotia. It is a hearty meal made with ground beef, ground pork, and mashed potatoes, all baked into a flaky pie crust. This dish is perfect for cold winter days, or for sharing with your friends and family on a lazy weekend afternoon. While the dish may have humble origins, it has become a beloved part of Canadian cuisine and is a staple in many households across the country.

Instructions

1.	Peel and boil the potatoes until tender. Drain and mash with butter, salt, and pepper.
2.	Brown the ground beef and pork in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season with salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning.
3.	Preheat the oven to 375°F.
4.	Roll out the pie crusts and fit them into 5-7 pie dishes.
5.	Layer the mashed potatoes and browned meat, starting with a layer of mashed potatoes on the bottom of each pie crust and alternating with a layer of meat.
6.	Bake the pies for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly. Let the pies cool for 15-20 minutes before serving.
