French Tourtiere image

This recipe was given to me as part of a bridal shower gift. My husband loves meat and pies, so he was practically in heaven when I made this for him! I have also used a refrigerated pie crust and it is just as good. Originally submitted to PieRecipe.com.

The tourtière was delicious, but the crust was a little soggy. I think I'll try baking it for a few minutes longer next time.
