This is a delicious recipe for a Portuguese style meat pie called Bolo de Carne. This style of pie originated in Germany and has been brought and intertwined with Portuguese gastronomy through the use of Portuguese ingredients of Chourico, cacoula, and spices into a meaty dish. It is quite simple and easy to make, so go ahead and try it out and tell us what you think.
