Prepare the pie crust by rolling it out and fitting it into a pie dish.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat and sauté onions until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, ground beef, sautéed onions, and garlic.

Peel and boil potatoes until tender, then mash and add to the meat mixture.

Season with thyme, sage, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper; mix well.

Add water to the mixture to keep it moist and combine thoroughly.

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

Cover with the top crust, sealing the edges and cutting slits for steam to escape.

Brush the top crust with a beaten egg for a golden finish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes until the crust is golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Serve warm, preferably with a side of pickles or chutney.
