Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450ðF (230ðC).
  2. In a large saucepan, combine ground beef, ground pork, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, savory (or thyme), celery salt, ground cloves, and water.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, breaking up the meat with a spoon as it cooks.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Gradually stir in breadcrumbs, one spoonful at a time, until all liquid is absorbed and the mixture thickens.
  6. Remove from heat and allow the filling to cool completely to room temperature.
  7. Place the bottom pie crust in a pie dish. Pour the cooled meat filling into the crust.
  8. Cover with the top pie crust. Seal edges and cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
