Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 pounds - ground lean pork
- 1 1/2 pounds - ground lean beef
- 1 1/2 cups - finely chopped onion
- - finely chopped fresh garlic
- 1 tablespoons - cinnamon
- 1 1/2 teaspoons - cloves

- 2 teaspoons - salt
- 1 teaspoons - nutmeg
- - pepper to taste
- - water to cover meat

- 3 - pastries for 2-crust 9-inch pies
Directions:
Brown meat in large frying pan. Drain off excess fat and place meat in large saucepan.

Add mashed potatoes to meat mixture, blending well.
Fill pie shells with meat mixture. Roll out remainder of pastry, cut several slits or fancy designs near center, place on top of meat mixture, seal and flute edges.
