pie crust

🥗Healthier: whole wheat crust

💰Cheaper: store-bought crust

Whole wheat crust adds fiber, while store-bought saves time.

Start with 1 pound of ground sirloin and 0.5 pound of ground pork in a Dutch oven.

Add chopped celery, chopped onions, and minced garlic to the pot and break the meat into small pieces.

Season the mixture with salt, pepper, thyme, sage, cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg.

Pour in beef stock and cover the pot with a lid; simmer on low heat until most of the liquid is gone.

Once the meat mixture is ready, add in 1 red potato (skin on) that has been mashed and mix it with the ground meat.

In a pie dish, place the store-bought pie crust and poke holes in it for venting.

Fill the pie crust with the meat and potato mixture, mounding it slightly.

Cover with another layer of pie crust, crimp the edges, and poke holes in the top crust.

Prepare an egg wash using 2 eggs and brush it over the top crust for a golden finish.

Bake the pie until golden brown, checking for doneness visually.
