I like your recipe except I use ground pork; ground beef & ground veal & rather than the bread crumbs I grate a raw potato into the mixture OR add mashed potatoes or dehydrated potato flakes.

We also have the tradition of serving Tortiere on Christmas Eve at our home. <br /><br />Just to answer your question above, I usually make a couple of extra pies and freeze them. I much prefer them fully baked and then frozen. Just wrap them in plastic and then in foil. They freeze beautifully. Take them out of the freezer either earlier in the day or the night before and let thaw in the fridge. Reheat in the oven.Thibeault's Tablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05802905531600373021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6205498964819123657.post-59815089980937652762010-01-06T16:27:36.263-06:002010-01-06T16:27:36.263-06:00Gorgeous photos!
