This was a good meat pie, but I think I would have liked it better with a different type of crust. I used a store-bought pie crust, and it was a little too thick and dry for my taste.

This Canadian meat pie is a classic for a reason. It's hearty, flavorful, and oh-so-satisfying. I love that I can make it ahead of time and then just pop it in the oven when I'm ready to eat.

This meat pie was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.
