A French Canadian dish that is served everywhere in the Northern Quebec region. It is tasty and filling. It takes a long time to cook and peeling and cubing all the potatoes may be tiring but it is well worth it! Try it just once and I'm sure you'll agree.
Ingredients:
2 lbs ground pork
2 lbs hamburger meat
10 lbs peeled and cubed potatoes
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans campbell's condensed vegetable soup
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans campbell's beef and barley soup
4 -5 cups water
1 (15 ounce) package pillsbury ready made pie dough (or your own)
salt and pepper

1. The French Canadian way: All of the above except use beef bullion concentrate to flavor the meal instead of Campbell's Soup.
2. Add water, 2 cans Campbell's Soup, salt,pepper, and ground pork and hamburger meat to a large pot.
3. Boil ingredients until the meat is fully cooked.
4. Taste to see if it needs more salt or not.
5. Peel and cube potatoes and mix with the last 2 cans of soup; set aside.
6. For the full recipe, use a turkey basting pan with lid to bake this.
