7. Portion meat into the pie shells
8. Pour 2 tbsp of reserve liquid (Fat removed and discarded) over meat filling to prevent drying out.
9. Cover pie shells with lids and crimp edges. Vents should be cut into the lid to release the steam.
10. Bake at 425 for ~15 minutes, to kick start the browning process.
11. Bake at 400 for ~45 minutes - 1 hour, till crusts are golden brown.

Notes

* When I eat tourtiere, I like it with gravy. So, I make a nice Simple and rich beef gravy to go along.
* If you like skinny pies, you could probably stretch the filling to cover 4 pies.
* Two people have added potatoes to the mix. One added cubed, slightly boiled, and some added garlic-mashed. Both reported that it was a fantastic idea.
