Tourtiere (French Canadian Meat Pie) Recipe
 
Tourtiere is a French Canadian Meat Pie, and something I remember eating every Christmas Eve at my grandparents house in Ottawa, Ontario, my Dad's family being French Canadian. When we moved across the country to BC, when I was 10, we continued the tradition. When I got married, with step kids, we carried on my beloved Christmas Eve Tourtiere tradition. This is the recipe my grandfather used (with a few tweeks from my Mom).
