Some time ago, a co-worker brought a meat pie to lunch. The aroma was familiar—and after one taste, I was amazed to discover it was the same pie my grandmother used to serve when I was a youngster! My co-worker shared the recipe, and I have been enjoying it ever since. —Rita Winterberger, Huson, Montana
Adapted from the Joy of Cooking by Irma Rombauer, Marion Rombauer Becker, Ethan Becker, John Becker, and Megan Scott I recommend using ground beef that's not too lean, and if you want to substitute the pork with ground chicken or turkey, I advise using dark meat ground poultry. You could likely swap out another root vegetable for the potato, such as parsnips, carrots, or rutabagas, peeled and cubed. The potato I used weighed in at 10 ounces/280g, if you want to use that as a guide. But the recipe is anything but fussy and you could certainly customize the filling to your tastes and whims.

The recipe for this French Canadian classic came from saveur kitchen assistant and resident Canadian Anne-Marie White. "This is my favorite kind of rustic home cooking," she says, "and the apple cider and warming spices make it a perfect holiday dish."
The name is funny and needs to be pronounced carefully - “past-ees”. The origin of this ancient English meat pie is unclear. And the name perhaps less so, though it is believed to derive from the Medieval French word for “pie” and is most often a round of shortcrust filled with meat, vegetables or
There’s a new meat pie in town! We’ve all heard of tourtière, the French-Canadian spiced savoury meat pie. But there’s another French-Canadian meat pie that is just as worthy of your love: an Acadian pie traditionally eaten at Christmas that hails from the Maritimes. I first heard of it through my cousin-in-law’s wife when we were sharing holiday eating traditions. When she said the words “traditional Christmas meat pie,” I had to know everything about it.Not only did I get the recipe, but I also got to make the pie with her parents, Norma and Rufus, who are of Acadian descent and grew up in New Brunswick. We were going to cook her family’s recipe, handed down to her dad by his mother. Rufus has been making this same pie for decades in huge batches for family Christmas gatherings.When we first began cooking I asked Rufus: “So this is kind of like tourtière, right?” I received a firm lesson from Rufus that it is not. Tourtière is a Quebecois dish, and we were making an Acadian meat pie. The flavours are different and, according to Rufus, better. The meat is flavoured with onion and most importantly, summer savoury (the stuff from New Brunswick is best). Tourtière uses ground meat and has a spiced taste from nutmeg, allspice and cloves that is totally different from an Acadian meat pie. Which one is better? They are both delicious in their own way, but I am a bit more partial to the Acadian meat pie since I learned it from a dad who has been carrying on this long Christmas tradition for his family.A sincere thank you to Norma and Rufus for sharing their Christmas family recipe and traditions with me and our Food Network Canada readers. Maritimers are so friendly, aren’t they?Related: Canadian Baked Beans That the Whole Family Will Love

I’m a seventh-generation French Canadian, and my ancestors started the tradition of serving this meat pie on Christmas Eve. One year I didn’t make it, and my daughter and I felt something was missing. The savory pie goes well with salad and fresh rolls for a lighter meal, and it’s good served in small portions with turkey and all the trimmings, too.
