Tortiere - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 to 1 c. onions, chopped
1 1/2 lb. ground beef
1 1/2 lb. ground pork
1 tsp. celery salt
1 to 2 tsp. Bell's seasoning (poultry seasoning)
1 sleeve saltine crackers, crushed
1 (9-inch) pie crust (top and bottom)
2 Tbsp. water (as needed)

Preparation

Brown the onions until glassy, then add the ground meat (beef and pork) until fully cooked.
Season with the celery salt and poultry seasoning.
Pour off excess grease from pan.
Add the crushed saltines and mix together, adding the water bit by bit to moisten the crackers and melt them into the meat.
Place the bottom crust into a 9-inch pie plate and pour in the cooked meat mixture.
Cover with the top crust.
Brush with egg white if desired for a browner crust.
Bake in a 375\u00b0 oven for approximately 20 to 30 minutes, depending on how brown you prefer your crust.
Serve with ketchup on the side.
Tortiere is traditionally served during the winter holidays, and is an absolute \"must\" on Christmas Eve and on New Year's Eve.
Joyeaux Noel!
