This hot, fragrant meat pie has crispy edges and a juicy filling. I like it so much. I remember the flavor of meat pies from my childhood, my mother and grandmother baked them.

Classic Meat Pie
The meat pie is a real treat for the eyes and stomach. I suggest you bake delicious meat pies by frying them in a pan. I have been cooking such pies for many years and they turn out to be incredibly tasty every time. You can use any meat filling and any favorite spices for them.
I fry the pies in the usual way, in a pan with 2-3 inches of vegetable oil, but my mother prefers to bake them in the oven, which is also good.
Baked or fried pies, I still love to serve them with sour cream.
The meat pie is the perfect snack. It is not necessary to wait for a party to cook them.
Make them for yourself and enjoy this taste. Actually, you can prepare pies in advance and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before frying. I think this is great.
Well, what else can I say about them? You must cook and try meat pie! Crispy pastry, juicy filling. This is delicious!
How do you make meat pies?
To make this recipe from scratch you can use store-bought pie crust or make your own.
- First, cook the filling in a skillet.
- Then, roll out the chilled pie crust dough, cut out circles and make pies with meat filling.
- Fry in vegetable oil or bake in the oven. Enjoy!
Should meat pie filling be hot or cold?
The filling can be warm or cold when you make pies. It’s not important, because meat pies must be refrigerated before frying (or baking).
Baking Tips For Classic Meat Pie;
- You can also bake meat pies. Preheat oven to 350°F. Place cooled pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 mins until golden brown.
- If you don’t have a 4-inch cookie/biscuit cutter you can use a lid or a jar to cut the dough.
- You can keep fried pies in the oven while frying the other ones.
