Pastry for a 2-crust 9" (23 cm) pie
1 lb. ground pork 500 g
1/2 cup water 125 ml
1 cup chopped onion 250 ml
1 garlic clove, minced 1
1 tsp thyme 5 ml
1/2  pepper 2 ml
1/2 tsp  salt 2ml
1 tsp cloves 5ml
1 cup soft bread crumbs OR 250ml
cooked mashed potatoes
In a saucepan combine pork, water, onions and garlic. Simmer for 1 hour. Drain off the fat.
Stir in spices and bread crumbs.
Line a pie plate with pastry. You may wish to place crushed soda crackers on top of the pie crust to prevent sogginess.
Fill with pork mixture. Top with pie crust.  Seal pastry edges and cut small steam vents in top crust. Some people make designs!
Bake at 375º for 30 minutes or until crust is lightly browned.

**Some people substitute beef for pork.
