Ingredients
CRUST
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ pound + 2⅔ Tablespoons butter, chilled
  • ¼ cup very cold water
FILLING
  • ¾ pounds ground beef
  • ¾ pounds ground pork (butt/shoulder)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1½ teaspoons sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon sage
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoons allspice
  • ¼ teaspoons pepper
  • 1 egg white, beaten for brushing crust
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, cut butter into flour until mixture resembles a coarse meal. Sprinkle in water 1 Tablespoon at a time and toss with a fork until dough begins to come together. Gather into a ball and divide dough into 2 equal balls, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. In a large dutch oven, saute onion and garlic. Add beef and pork and cook through. Mix in herbs and spices.
  3. On a large floured surface, divide one dough ball in half (if making mini pies, if making 10" single pie do not divide dough) and roll out one of the halves. Lay in a 6" pie tin. Using a slotted spoon, spoon filling into crust until flush with top of pie pan. Roll out other half of dough ball, place over filling and seal and trim edges. Brush crust with egg white. Repeat for remaining 4 pies.
  4. Bake at 375 degrees for around 30 minutes until golden brown.
