    I grew up in Louisiana but now live very far away. This recipe was wonderful and was a great visit home with the first bite.
    Thanks so much Emeril for a fantastic recipe!

    These were absolutely excellent!!! I used green and red bell peppers because that is what I had in the fridge. Instead of vegetable shortening to fry in which is a trans fat oil, I used the rest of the lard and filled it up with peanut oil. My grandmother used lard all her life and she lived to be 98 and it was not from her health but an accident. Anyway, lard is a natural fat. According to my book on fats that heal, it was saying that lard is better for you than butter. This was an excellent recipe Emeril and the crust was so flaky. I will make this over and over.

    My thanks to Emeril - we are Katrina transplants to Texas and I was jonesing for some of the good homemade meat pies I used to enjoy in LA - tried several different recipes before hitting this one - EXCELLENT and JUST like the roadside vendors made! These pies for us started as a tradition when my dad would bring them back from business trips - he always stopped to pick some up for us, and now I can bring them to my kids - a little bit of home right out of my Texas kitchen! Thanks, Emeril!

    I have been looking for a good recipe for Natchitoches Meat Pies for years. We lived in Louisiana '79 - '85 and those were one of my favorite foods. Thanks Emeril for this wonderful and easy recipe. My 7 yr old nephew loves them too.

    I've always wanted to make meat pies, but didn't want to be disappointed on the results. Emeril THANK YOU for this recipe-my meat pies turned out FABULOUS. My picky daughter wants me to make a batch for her Pre-K class. Making the dough was my first time and it was very EASY. I'v added this to my recipe box forever. I had to pulled the second batch out of the freezer for my daughter.

    I bought a deep frier just to try out this recipe. Now having sampled this delight for the fourth time, I just had to drop a note here, telling you how much my family and I loved it! Thanks Emeril, you're aces!

    (As an aside, I was really nervous about making the dough, but your recipe made that a snap. Again, my thanks
