So apparently I was drinking and amazoning one night and ordered a couple ounces of morel mushrooms.

They weren’t cheap so I don’t want to use them like regular mushrooms.
So what do you think? Could these be good in a meat pie?



Thinking of making a brisket and ale meat pie for a game of thrones watch party. Might be a nice addition and worth the splurge.

Anyone use these before?

Meat pies are great. I handmake my crust. Might have to do the brisket in the oven since my smoker is out of commission

Similar to that but not that one. The picture I grabbed, but I could show you some game of thrones themed pies i’ve Made it if could figure out how to post pics from my phone again.

As far as my personal recipe goes

The crust is simple.

Flour, egg, spices (salt, pepper, garlic powder, pulverized rosemary and sage.) then I add lard.
Mix them all together well until your crust is the right consistency, you want something near noodles.

Then you line your greased pan and blanch your crust. 10-15 at 375, IIRC


far as the filling goes, I like savory meats, hearty veggies, i’ve Even added blackberries. Turnips go great. You want a really thick gravy, Almost a gel. Once you get your flavors right you spoon it into your crust,
Then I take strips of crust and lace them on top in a thatch pattern, pinching the edges.
Nice egg wash on top, then bake until golden brown.

well what i do goes against the texas competition guys. But i like a heavy bark with some spice. So i make a rub that consists of pepper, cayenne, garlic powder, chili powder, maybe a little cumin if i feel like it and, celery seed. I run the meat with salt first and let it absorb. then rub with the rub. i built a heatermeter so temp control is easy. set it at 225 and let it roll till 203. I like a heavy smoke for the first 2-6 hours. I also dont wrap so it takes a long time. I will bast with apple cider vinegar a few times, or just when ever i feel like it.

Now for a treat that will clog your arteries, When you are trimming i will cut some of the fat trimmings in strips. i mean small strips. like 2-4 inch long. rub and put those on the pit too. after a few hours they will be like crusted smoked brisket flavored bacon. I have made the mistake of eating too many and upsetting my stomach.

I like that it has a top and bottom crust. It looks very savory.

They really are. I’ll use a springform pan to get a nice thick round pie, plus it makes it easier for presentation because the crust stays intact versus trying to get it out of a pan

Morels are excellent in soups and as a sauce...like a demi-glace.
