Tourtiere Du Lac St-Jean image

A French Canadian dish that is served everywhere in the Northern Quebec region. It is tasty and filling. It takes a long time to cook and peeling and cubing all the potatoes may be tiring but it is well worth it! Try it just once and I'm sure you'll agree. This is not a pie...it is so much more than that! Please note that I have made this using Campbell's Beef and Barley soup concentrate in lieu of beef bouillon concentrate on occasion and my family from Quebec loved it. The bouillon is traditionally used however, and anything else is optional. This will feed 15-20 people. Québécois like to serve with salad, pickled beets, cucumbers, tomatoes and salad.
