Mini Pork Pies
As a child, I discovered my love of pork pies. I used to help my father deliver oil on Saturdays, and we would stop at a local place to have the meaty pastries for lunch. —Renee Murby, Johnston, Rhode Island

Great idea to make smaller pies. We make French Canadian meat pies, not everyone likes them so smaller pies are a great alternative.

Tasty pies; easy to make. the only thing I'd change is I'd add more gravy. The pies were too dry.
sounds good. cornstarch mix is added to meat mix in step 2.
A step is missing! What do you do with the Cornstarch mixture? At what point does the mixture become a part of the recipe.
works well love these pies
Lovely! Our church used to have an Ethnic Fall Festival when I was a child. My Gran used to man the French booth, where they served, among many other culinary delights, tourtieres such as these!
We make traditional pork pie also as I come from a French Canadian family --a great idea to make mini pork pies! We prefer to make ours with half ground beef & half ground pork.; we also put a couple large cooked potatoes mashed--I've never had it without the potatoes!
