Tourtiere Du Quebec (French-Canadian Meat Pie) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/3 lb ground beef
    1/3 lb ground pork
    1/3 lb ground veal
    1 small onion, finely chopped
    1 small potato, grated
    1 small garlic clove, crushed
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon celery salt
    1/4 teaspoon clove
    1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
    1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
    1/2 cup water
    1 pastry for double-crust pie
Preparation
    Place all the ingredients (except for pie shell) in a sauce pan and bring to boil and cook uncovered for 20 minutes over medium heat.
    Cool the meat mixture and pour in pastry lined pan. Note: I like to cool mine in refrigerator over night if time permits.
    Cover with the top crust, cut steam vents and bake in a 400F oven until golden, about 45 minutes.
    Freeze well.
    Note: If ground pork and ground veal cannot be found, you can use meatloaf mix which is all 3 meat but I'm not sure of the ratio.
