Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Pork     Pork Tenderloin Recipes

Time 2h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

¾ cup lard
1 cup boiling water
5 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
2 pounds ground pork sausage
½ pound ground pork
½ pound lean pork tenderloin, sliced into small pieces
1 onion, finely chopped
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon mixed herbs
1 pinch medium curry powder, or to taste
1 pound smoked streaky bacon
2 tablespoons milk, or as needed

Steps:

  • Heat lard in a large microwave-safe bowl until melted, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir in boiling water.
  • Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in lard mixture. Mix with a wooden spoon until a smooth, slightly sticky ball of dough forms.
  • Dust a flat work surface with flour and knead dough for 2 minutes. Roll out 3/4 of the dough into a 1/3-inch thick circle. Press over the bottom and all the way up the sides of a 10-inch springform pan. Roll out remaining dough into a 1/3-inch thick circle for the top of the pie.
  • Freeze pie crust base and top until firm, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine ground sausage, ground pork, pork tenderloin, onion, parsley, pepper, thyme, mixed herbs, and curry powder in a large bowl. Mix into a paste.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Line the bottom and sides of the pastry crust with streaky bacon. Press in 1/2 of the pork mixture. Cover with 3 to 4 slices of streaky bacon. Press in remaining pork mixture; arrange remaining streaky bacon on top. Brush pastry rim with milk and add the top crust. Pinch the edges together to seal. Brush the top with milk and cut 2 slits in the top of the pie.
  • Bake pie in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), about 1 hour more.
  • Cool pie completely before removing from the pan.

Time 3h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 cups white flour
1 egg
1 lb Crisco or 1 lb tenderflake shortening
1 pinch salt
1 can Canada Dry ginger ale
5 lbs ground beef
2 lbs ground pork
1 large onion, chopped
salt
pepper
savory
sage

Steps:

  • Pie Crust: Mix ingredients in large bowl.
  • Mix well by hand.
  • Roll out on a floured surface.
  • Meat: Mix together meat, onion, salt and savory.
  • Cook for about 1-1 1/2 hours or until meat is well cooked, cool meat, place in lined pie plates, then place pie crust over meat and seal well.
  • Bake at 350 F for about 30 to 40 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your meat crust pie. Use fresh, high-quality meat, vegetables, and spices.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you get clean, even cuts on your meat and vegetables. This will ensure that your pie bakes evenly.
  • Don't overcook the meat: Overcooked meat will be tough and dry. Cook the meat until it is just cooked through, then remove it from the heat and let it rest before slicing.
  • Use a good quality pie crust: A good quality pie crust will help to hold the filling together and give the pie a flaky texture. You can either make your own pie crust or use a store-bought crust.
  • Don't overfill the pie: If you overfill the pie, the filling will not cook evenly. Fill the pie to about two-thirds full.
  • Bake the pie at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy, golden brown crust. Start by baking the pie at 425 degrees Fahrenheit, then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and continue to bake until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

Conclusion:

Meat crust pie is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a family meal. With its crispy crust, savory filling, and tender meat, this pie is sure to be a hit. Follow the tips above to make the best meat crust pie you've ever had.
