½ lb salt pork
½ lb onions
½ qt tomatoes

inch squares and salt pork and bacon in small dices. Put butter, salt pork and
bacon with carrots, onions, cloves and garlic and place on range together and
braise slowly for 20 minutes, then place the beef in same pan and shuffle around
often to keep from burning, and when nearly done, sprinkle flour over contents
to absorb moisture, pour hot soup stock or beef bouillon over same and cook 15
minutes, placing in fresh boiled potatoes, cut in small dices. Season with salt
and pepper and place in individual bakers and cover with pie dough rolled thin.
