Refrigerate the pie dough until needed.

Cook diced onion, celery, and minced garlic in a skillet over medium heat until softened.

Add ground beef and ground pork to the skillet; cook until browned.

Stir in Bell’s Poultry Seasoning, nutmeg, and sea salt; cook for another few minutes.

Add chopped or mashed potato and water; simmer until potato is tender.

Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.

Roll out half of the pie dough and fit it into a pie dish.

Fill the crust with the meat mixture, spreading it evenly.

Roll out the second half of the pie dough and place it over the filling; seal the edges.

Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown.
