   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
   • Line two 9-inch pie plates with pastry crusts.

2. Prepare Meat and Veggie Mixture:

   • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, ground pork, chopped onion, celery ribs, and minced garlic. Cook until the meat is no longer pink and the vegetables are tender. Drain any excess fat, then remove from heat.

3. Add Potatoes and Seasonings:

   • Stir in the mashed potatoes, chicken broth, dried rosemary, rubbed sage, dried thyme, and dried marjoram. Ensure everything is well combined for that flavorful filling.

4. Assemble Pies:

   • Divide the meat and potato mixture evenly between the two prepared pie crusts, spreading it out evenly.

5. Top and Seal:

   • Place the remaining pie crusts on top of the filled pies. Trim any excess dough, then seal and flute the edges to create a lovely finish.

6. Ventilate and Brush (Optional):

   • Create small slits or decorative patterns on the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
   • For an extra golden crust, you can brush the tops with cream before baking.

7. Bake to Perfection:

   • Place the pies in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust is beautifully golden brown.

8. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Allow the pies to cool slightly before slicing into generous portions.
   • Serve alongside your favorite veggies and perhaps a fresh side salad for a complete and satisfying meal!

Recipe Notes:

• Freezing Option: If you’d like to save one of the pies for another day, simply wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil before placing it in the freezer. When you’re ready to enjoy it, allow it to thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating in the oven.

• Customize to Taste: Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your liking! This recipe welcomes personal touches and variations. 🌿💫
