Nigerian Meat Pie

These hand-held savory pies are a Nigerian classic, made with a buttery shortcrust dough and a flavorful filling of ground beef, potatoes, and carrots. Baked until perfectly golden, they’re flaky on the outside and juicy on the inside. They make the perfect snack, lunch, or party food, and yes, they taste just as good reheated the next day.
If you try one of my recipes, I’d love to hear from you — and see your photos! 📸
