Natchitoches meat pie with beans and rice.

The Natchitoches meat pie is a regional dish from northern Louisiana. It is one of the official state foods of Louisiana^[1].

Ingredients include ground beef, ground pork, onions, peppers, garlic, oil, and a pie shell. Natchitoches meat pies are often fried in peanut oil because of the oil's high smoking temperature. A number of restaurants in the historic district in Natchitoches serve meat pies, and frozen pies are available from grocers in northern Louisiana.

An annual Meat Pie Festival, held in September, celebrates the Natchitoches meat pie.
