Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 3/4 cup diced onion
• 1/2 cup diced celery
• 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
• 2 pounds ground beef or pork (or 1 pound of each)
• 2-3 potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 3/4 cup water
• 1 cup half-and-half cream or milk
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon savory
• 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
• Salt, to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Saute Aromatics: In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over medium-high heat. Add diced onion, celery, and minced garlic. Saute for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened and aromatic.

2. Cook Meat Mixture: Stir in the ground beef or pork (or both) along with the cubed potatoes, water, and half-and-half cream or milk. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has completely evaporated, and the meat is cooked through.

3. Add Spices: Once the meat mixture is cooked, add in the ground cloves, thyme, savory, seasoning salt, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.

4. Prepare Pie Crusts: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Fit bottom pie pastry into each 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Divide the cooled beef mixture evenly between the two pie plates.

5. Assemble Pies: Top each pie with the remaining pie crusts, then flute the edges together to seal the pies. Cut slits in the top crust of each pie to allow steam to escape during baking. Place the assembled pies onto a baking sheet.

6. Bake: Bake the pies on the bottom rack of the preheated oven for 15 minutes at 450°F (230°C). After 15 minutes, reduce the heat to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

7. Serve: Remove the pies from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm, and enjoy the savory goodness of these country-style meat pies!
