Christmas Pork Pie image

When my mother was growing up, her mom made mince pies that contained meat. I created this recipe with my grandmother in mind. This pie is a main dish not a dessert, and I served it for the first time at my mother's 1999 Christmas party to rave reviews. -Candice Salazar Los Alamos, New Mexico

I made this for Christmas dinner and it was a huge success! Everyone loved it. The only change I made was to use a store-bought pie crust to save time.
