Venison Meat Pie
2 9 inch pie crusts
1 lb ground venison
1 lb ground hamburger
2 cups cubed potatoes, cooked then mashed
1 small onion chopped
your favorite seasonings (salt, pepper, whatever)
Saute meats and onion together with seasoning until cooked through.
Combine with mashed potatoes. Pour mixture into one pie crust and top with the other pie crust.
Bake at 375 for about an hour.
(if venison not available, use ground sausage)
This and my mom's cheese sauce is a must have for our family's T-day meal.
I think we'd kick her out of the family if she didn't make a T-day meat pie.
It tastes excellent reheated as leftovers with a bit of ketchup on top.

Happy Thanksgiving to all. The GTG was great -- I'lm having Thanx meal with my mother and brother since wife and kids are away til December. Of course we will finish up with the "Sglaine Pie Co." pumpkin pie and feedback will follw, as requested. But a made-from-scratch pumpkin pie is likely a sure hit.
