I make a savory pie called a French Meat Pie. It has ground beef, ground pork and onions in it. When the meats are brown you add mashed potatoes to hold it together. It is seasoned with salt, pepper and allspice. Pour it all into a pie shell, put the top pie crust on and bake until brown. My family loves this and it is just as good eaten at room temperature.
