Beef tourti=8are french canadian meat p=

ie

      6 x  Or 7 medium potatoes
      2 tb Oil
  1 1/2 lb Medium ground beef
      1 lg Onion, diced
    1/4 ts Allspice
    1/4 ts Cinnamon
    1/4 ts garlic salt
           Salt and pepper to taste
           Pastry for 2 double-crust
           9-inch pies

  COMMENTS: The large quantity of potatoes and modest amount of
seasonning
  seems to reduce the beef flavor. We vote for a little less potato and
an
  extra pinch of spice. Boil potatoes and mash coarsely. Heat oil in
large,
  heavy duty frying pan and brown beef and onion. Stir in potatoes,
allspice,
  cinnamon, garlic salt, salt and pepper. Preheat oven to 400'F.. Line
two
  9-inch pie pans with pastry. Using slotted spoon, fill pans with meat
  mixture. Cover with top crusts, cutting vents so steam can escape. Bake=

in
  preheated oven for 45 minutes or until golden-brown. Makes two
tourti=8Ares.
