"Because my husband hunts, I'm always trying new ways to use venison," writes Jan Stahl of Flin Flon, Manitoba. "When I incorporated it into my meat pie recipe - a traditional Fresh-Canadian dish - it was a smash hit! We make dozens of these pies as Christmas gifts."

I've made this pie twice now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of beef, pork, and spices is perfect, and the crust is always flaky and golden brown.
