NATCHITOCHES MEAT PIES 
1 1/2 lb. ground beef
1 1/2 lb. ground pork
1 c. chopped green onions, tops and bottoms
1 tbsp. salt
1 tsp. coarse ground black pepper
1 tsp. coarse ground red pepper
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/3 c. all purpose flour

CRUST:

2 c. self rising flour
1/3 heaping c. Crisco, not melted
1 egg, beaten
3/4 c. milk

Combine ground beef, ground pork, onions, and seasonings in large Dutch oven. Cook over medium heat, stirring often until meat loses its red color. Do not over cook the meat. Sift the flour over meat mixture, stirring often, until well combined with meat. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Place meat in a large colander to drain off excess grease and juice. Form dough into a ball. Cut dough into 5 to 5 1/2 inch circles. Deep fry at 350 degrees.
