Sea Pie (Six Pates)

This sea pie is an old French recipe that was passed down from my great-grandmother to my mother, then to myself and my family. Many people think this has to do with fish or seafood when they see the name, but it does not have anything to do with fish. The name in French is six pates, which, translated to English, means six doughs.

Ingredients

  • 5 pounds boneless beef sirloin, cubed

  • 3 pounds boneless pork roast, cubed

  • 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cubed

  • 4 large onions, chopped

  • 6 large stalks celery, chopped

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 6 (9-inch) prepared unbaked pie crusts

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Cook and stir beef, pork, and chicken in a Dutch oven over medium-low heat until meat begins to brown. Mix in onions and celery; season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 5 more minutes.

  3. Arrange 2 pie crusts in a single layer in the bottom of a large roasting pan. Spread 1/2 of the meat mixture over crusts. Arrange 2 more pie crusts on top, then spread with remaining meat mixture. Cover with remaining 2 pie crusts, pressing and stretching them to the sides of the pan. Poke 8 small holes on top to allow steam to escape.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown and pie is hot and bubbly, about 1 hour.
