~Natchitoches Meat Pies~
Natchitoches, Louisiana, is the home of these famous pies, which have been popular there since
before the Civil War.
What's truly wonderful about these (aside from being delicious), is that you can freeze them after
preparation and serve them up later making for a great quick snack.
Ingredients:
1 lb. lean ground beef
1 lb. lean ground pork
1 medium onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 bunch scallions, chopped
4 to 5 cloves garlic, minced
1 T. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. ground red pepper
Pastry (recipe below)
Vegetable oil
Directions:
Combine meats in a heavy skillet; brown over medium heat, stirring until it crumbles.
Remove from skillet; drain, reserving drippings in skillet. Set aside. Sauté onion and next 3
ingredients in skillet until tender. Return meat to skillet; stir in flour and seasonings. Set aside.
Divide pastry into 4 portions. Roll out one portion to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut 5 circles using a 6-inch
saucer as a guide and re-rolling dough if necessary. Spoon about 1/4 cup meat mixture on one half
of each dough circle. Moisten edges with water. Fold dough over meat mixture, pressing edges to seal.
Crimp edges with a fork. Repeat procedure with remaining dough portions and meat mixture.
Pour oil to a depth of 3 inches into a Dutch oven; heat to 375ºF. Fry about 4 pies at a time until
browned, turning once. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately. Makes 20 pies.
**Pastry**
8 C. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
4 tsp. salt
1 C. shortening
2 eggs, beaten
2 1/4 C. milk
Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl; cut in shortening with a pastry blender until
mixture resembles coarse meal. Combine eggs and milk. Gradually add to flour mixture, stirring with
a fork until dry ingredients are moistened. Shape into a ball (pastry will be stiff).
NOTE: Pies may be frozen before cooking. Place pies in a single layer on baking sheets; cover and
freeze. Transfer from baking sheets to zip-top heavy-duty plastic bags, and return to freezer. To
serve, thaw pies overnight in refrigerator, and fry as directed above.

Ingredients:
1 cup of elbow macaroni
8 ounces of sharp cheddar cheese, grated
2 eggs
3 tablespoons butter
about 1 & 1/2 cups of milk
1 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
Directions:
Cook macaroni in boiling, salted water for about 3 or 4 minutes, or halfway cooked (you don't want it mushy!) Drain in colander. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to keep macaroni from sticking. Place half of the macaroni in a buttered 9x9 baking dish, place half of the grated cheese on top, then dot with 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the rest of the macaroni, then cheese, and dot with the rest of the butter. Beat the eggs - add enough milk to the eggs to make the mixture amount to 2 cups of liquid. Add the salt and pepper to egg & milk and mix thoroughly. Pour mixture over macaroni & cheese. Bake in 350°F for about 45 minutes, or until lightly browned on top.

~Dump Cake~
Ingredients:
1 jar of Maraschino cherries, chopped
1 20 ounce can of crushed pineapple, drained
1 box of plain yellow cake mix (not the kind with pudding!)
2 sticks of butter, sliced
1/2 cup of chopped pecans
Directions:
Butter a 9x9 glass pan. Layer ingredients in pan in the following order: cherries, pineapple, cake mix (DRY), layer the butter slices so that it entirely coveres the cake mix, and then add the chopped pecans. Bake at 350 for approximately 45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. **WARNING** this one is VERY rich and highly addictive! Makes about 6-8 servings - or, one if you really like it.
