Prepare the Filling
In a large skillet, cook ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until the meat is browned and the onion is soft.

Stir in salt, black pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add beef broth if using and mix well.

Cooling helps prevent a soggy pie crust.Prepare the Crust
Roll out pie crust and fit it into a pie dish, leaving a bit of overhang.
Chill the crust in the fridge for 15 minutes to prevent shrinking.Assemble the Tourtière
Fill the crust with the meat mixture, then cover with another layer of pie crust. Seal edges and cut slits for steam.
Crimp edges for a decorative look.Bake the Pie
Brush the top crust with beaten egg and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown.
