Stone Sour

Stone Sour is a traditional North American dish, particularly popular in the Upper Midwest and Canada, consisting of a savory pie or casserole. It typically features a filling of ground meat (often beef or pork), onions, and a tangy tomato-based sauce, all encased in a pastry crust or topped with a biscuit-like dough. The name is thought to be a playful mispronunciation of 'stuffed sour' or a reference to its hearty, rustic nature.
