You’ll Need

- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 cup diced celery
- 2 cups beef stock

- ½ cup rolled oats
- 2 double pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)

Prep and Cook
- 1Heat the olive oil in a large stockpot. Add the ground meats and cook until no longer pink.
- 2Add the onion, celery, stock, bay leaf, mustard, cinnamon, allspice, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 1½ hours, adding more stock or water if the mixture begins to dry out.
- 3Once cooked, remove the pot from the stovetop and add the oats, stirring them in. Let the mixture cool completely. Remove bay leaf from the pot.

- 6Cut three steam vents into the top of the crust (or use a cookie cutter to create a decorative vent in the top). Brush the entire pie crust with egg wash and bake for 35–45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
