Legendary food in my opinion. The spices and breading. It heals the soul. Love em spicy spicy!

Omg Charlie! Thank you so much for sharing and making this video. I'm from Natchitoches and haven't had a meat pie in years.

OMG---I WANT TO JUMP THRU THE COMPUTER SCREEN AND GET THOSE PIES !!! DAMN, I WISH YOU LIVED HERE IN DETROIT. LOVE YOU CHARLIE !

Ayeeeee!! That's where my family is from! We pronounce it "Nat-katush." Love the video.

definitely making these....no more corner store or taco truck for me...lol

Quick Q&A for this video. 1. Question- Can I use all beef instead of pork? Answer- Yes absolutely! 2. Question- Can I use all pork instead of beef? Answer- Yes you can but I recommend you use the beef as well. 3.Question- Can I bake my pies instead of frying them. Answer- Yes you can. 4. Question- Can I add egg wash onto my pies before baking Answer- Yes absolutely! 5. Question- Can I use all butter? Answer- Yes and no. It's best to use what the recipe calls for. With the butter and shortening combined it will result in more of a flaky crust. 6. Question- Can I use all Shortening? Answer- Yes you can. You can also use lard for this recipe as well. 7. Question- If you are baking the pies how long to bake and what's the oven temperture. Answer- Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes or until the crust is a slight golden brown color.

My mom was born in 1919 and she made a beef chunk onion and taters pie she called it pasty. One thing she put in it was 1/2 (half) box of black pepper. She put in a biscuit crust and baked it was served to us in spring..She never said why but I fell in love with it. Peace sweetie, have a great weekend.

Thanks for the recipe and the Q&A. Have a blessed week 😄.

In Texas and I wanted to make these. I came straight to yo page cause I knew you’ll have a recipe. Thank Charlie

Charlie Charlie Charlie you are the best 💕💕💕💕💕

I can finally make these at home! There are just a small scattering of recipes for these. My husband took me to that town a few years back and knew a gas station that makes these. He used to have a truck driving route there for restaurant deliveries. He got me a few of those pies and I got hooked! It's quite a drive from here in North Texas and now I can have them in my own kitchen. Thank you so much! I am so excited about these!

Oh Charlie I'm so glad I found your channel! Thank you! These look awesome!

Charlie, im surprised that table is still alive after how you beat on it! Thanks I’m gonna do this brother

You make it sound so simple. Relaxing voice!!! I might can do this.

My plan is to make the dough this Friday, with two additional ingredients. One half teaspoon of turmeric and one whole teaspoon of cayenne pepper. I'm a spicy lover. I hope my pies turn out half as good as yours. Thanks for the recipe.

Another home run Charlie. Excellent as usual!

I will give it a try! Thanks Charlie for your recipes!!

Fantastic smooth easy demonstration ..No rushing. You’re the best to understand and catch up to your recipe.. Thank you.

Great instruction, thanks for posting Charlie.

Man that looks good. Great job walking us through that. Thank you.

Great job can't wait to try them

I spent some time in Coushatta down the road a bit and was treated to some of these. They were awesome!! And now I think I can duplicate that experience. Thanks!! I also appreciate you going straight into it without 10 minutes of rambling like a lot of KZfaqrs do.

Another great recipe..thanks Charlie!

Great recipe Charlie, they look really good, I'm looking forward to giving this a try.

Thanks for the recipe it looks delicious.

Ooh I've had this before! I am so glad you put this recipe up. I'm definitely going to have to make these today for a little taste of Louisiana.

Another great video, thanks for sharing Charlie. I've never seen them home made before, I've always got the store bought ones.. looks great though.☺️

I just want to say from one cook to another, That a clean cook is a great cook! Charlie you are too clean and I absolutely love it and these recipes are the bomb, and us New Orleans folk can cook baby, cant wait for more of your videos!! Keep it up!!

Good video. I'm an Alabamian that had never heard of these until yesterday. I saw something in my news feed about them being sold at Aldi in the frozen section. These don't look too difficult to make. Your video is perfectly explanatory and well paced. Thanks.

Hey Charlie awesome thanks for sharing💕

Yummy Charlie!! Thank you for sharing!!💖😁

Appreciate all your videos! As a former northern Louisiana native now living in Alaska, I only get a taste of home by cooking it myself. Unfortunately, I wasn't taught at home. Your videos/experience have provided me invaluable guidance and perspective that I enjoy combining/contrasting with other Louisiana cooking channels to develop a recipe that works for my family. Thanks for helping me to share the flavors of our culture with my family and others. Currently working on supplementing moose/caribou/goat/and bear in recipes requiring ground beef. Should be interesting.

I love all of your recipes!!

Charlie you are really amazing! I just made the meat pies for my husband and he said they are better than he remembers them. When we come to NOLA we have to meet you please!? Your instructions are so good that I got it right my first time around. Make that book because I'm definitely buying! In two days I made to recipes and my family thanks Im the best chef ever. Thank you!!!!!!!

OMG I can cook, thank you Charlie

ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO!!😋THANKS...😋YUMMY!

Hi Cjarlie! Thank you so much for the meat pie recipe! I love them, now I know how to make them. All of your recipes are wonderful.

I made them, my family loved them. Great recipe.

Nice job. Clear, concise and on point. I live just south of Natchitoches and love the meat pie. I got my son-in-law hooked on them. He is from Wisconsin and fit right in to our cuisine. He is a crawfish eating beast now. Thanks!

Thank You Charlie For Sharing Another Delicious Recipe 💯🔥💕🔥💕🔥

Ty Charlie

YES Charlie I was the one who requested this video thank u so much for listening to your subscribers and honoring our request when possible we Truly Appreciate U thank u again 😘

I was in natchitdes, Louisiana (spell check) this past weekend and this recipe came right in hand, i'm so happy!!!!

Charlie, love your videos. I gotta try making this. You teach so well. Thank you!!!

Wow blessings 🙏 Thanks for sharing

Awesome video! Thank you brotha

Oh yeah!! Thank you sir!!

Oh looks great !

Hello I'm from Natchitoches also. My grandparents stayed on the back of the square and my aunt Baylor heights and me on fairground road. I miss Natchitoches

So going to make these! Tfs

Great looking pie! If you guys prefer a more wet filling, just add some water and cornstarch when cooking the meat whenaround 70% cooked, so the meat will be covered in small sauce-y protection and will let the meat absorb the liquide a bit!

I am ready to taste those little meat pies too they look yummy thank you very much for the recipe I know everyone in the family when I make these will really enjoy them have a blessed blessed day

I can't wait to make this

I love your recipes

Thanks for saying sharing is caring looks delicious have a great day bam bam🤣🤣🤗🤗

Very well put together vid‼️

How did I miss these babies? Thanks, Charlie!!!

Great recipe thank you Charlie. I can't understand why anyone would give this recipe a thumbs down jeez there's absolutely nothing wrong with the recipe or his technique. I think some people just enjoy being mean, sad...

Looks wonderful

Hi Charlie, I am also from Louisiana. Been watching you for a couple of years and enjoy your videos so much! I am from SW Louisiana where we like to cook your kind of food for sure. Sorry, I have never commented but you inspire me every time I watch you. I have a small channel for cooking and baking but decided not to focus on just Louisiana food. So I just have fun making whatever inspires me. You are such a likable person and you give great instructions and clear on ingredients that you use. I just watched the sausage corndog video and loved it. I am so proud of you and how your channel is growing and wanted to say congrats on all your hard work. Have a blessed day!------------Tressa Daigle Oh and I do love making and eating Cajun food too!

Hey, charlie. Thank you for the recipe. Here in Brazil we have an infinity number of recipes of this kind of meatpie (or chicken-egg-calabrese-cheese-or-whatever-you-choose), being it deepfried or in the oven. We call it "pastel", you could check it out.

Great video.. thanks

Excellent

I can’t wait to try these out!!!! Charlie, you hit the table 3, 4 times! I’m going shopping, now! I hav3 been following AND trying Charlie’s channel. Every recipe Ive tried of his, WORKED. I SCREWED up on one, but that was my fault. I’ve always wanted to learn to cook New Orleans dishes and Charlie is the truth. Next potluck at work, it’s either going to be this one or Charlie’s shrimp P.O. boys....

Bravo Charlie

hey chef! fantastic vid! very informative !

That looks soooo good👌🏼👌🏼

Charlie, I appreciate the way you show all the ingredients your going to use at the beginning of the video. I'm picking up a few items this week at the grocery and will be making this meat pie recipe. I love the way you talk while showing us how to cook things. I just subscribed and will be checking some of your other videos!

Ms. T M Natchitoches is like a second home to us. That’s where our family comes from. I love Natchitoches meat pies!!!

For the Saints game tonight/supper tonight, I made this... I will admit, since I was spending time on your praline cake & smothered okra, I did not make your pastry crust. I used that pillsbury refrigerated one & rolled it out. But the filling..OMG-sooo good! I added a fresh jalapeño to my onion bell pepper garlic mix & was a tad heavier on the cayenne. My family was sooo happy! I’m glad I found you. I can’t wait to the next weekend I can cook your recipes.

Originally from bossier and shreveport. I remember getting this at school even. Hoping to bring this to seattle, wa area!

Yummy thank you

Oh my gush I can't stand all these delicious food videos back to back, lol. I am having a melt down. God bless

They look so delicious!!

Brutha, I made these today and like you, I beat the table because they were absolutely delish!!!!!! Instead of me making dough from scratch, I used biscuit dough and they turned out fine. I still have some filling left to make more. I saw a dipping sauce for meat pies online that I'm gonna try. Thanks for sharing your recipe! :)

I've gotta ask, Who on earth would dislike this video? 😧 Obviously one who's vegetarian/vegan or ??? (maybe someone who's never had one of these DELICIOUS meat pies😋) Thanks Charlie for another great demonstration👍

I Absolutely Luv these!!!!

💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 Thank you Charlie my fav!!!

Nice nice video Charlie the cook I'm going to add vegetables to mine thanks you're the best!!!
