Louisiana Meat Pies contain a mixture of cooked ground beef and pork. The original meat pie recipe is pure and simple, and I didn’t want to mess that up in my spin-off. Green onions and garlic along with a splash of Worcestershire sauce are the backbones for the pies’ savory filling. Ground beef- I like to use 80/20 (or chuck) for this recipe.

The Natchitoches meat pie, filled with a savory mixture of beef, pork, and the Cajun trinity, is one of Louisiana’s most beloved snacks. In a small Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add beef, pork, oregano, salt, red pepper, black pepper, and cayenne. Cook, stirring frequently, until meat is browned and crumbly, about 6 minutes.
If you’re serving Louisiana Meat Pies as party food, then all you need is a good dipping sauce. My recipe includes a horseradish dipping sauce that I love with ground beef, but you’re welcome to choose any dipping sauce that tickles your taste buds.
