Leave out the bell's seasonining instead add ground cinnamon and ground gloves add until you can taste the spices.True French Canadien Pork Pie.Good luck!

As Shirley stated, omit the Bell seasoning substituting instead one teaspoon cinnamon, one teaspoon nutmeg and one half teaspoon ground cloves. Prepare the mashed potatoes with cream, butter, salt and pepper before combining all ingredients. This is a deliciously simple recipe made even better with homemade pie dough!

Forget the Bells, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves. Don't mash the potatoes, use small diced boiled potatoes, salt, pepper and garlic. The pork should be double ground. Bake as stated above.

My combo recipe from my French Canadian aunts uses allspice, cinnamon and cloves with the mashed potato and I add garlic. I can't imagine leaving out the spices as Mike T. suggests....wouldn't be pork pie at my house! We are ringing in the New Year with it.

I grew up eating pork pie and my grandparents are french canadian, the bells is the only way I know. However, I would love to try the clove and cinnamon. I'm working on a new three cheese and bacon pork pie hopeing my kids would be more open to trying it. We all know pork pie has a flavor of its own.
