How to Make Bacon Onion Tomato Pie
Ingredients
- One pre-baked deep 9-inch pie shell
- 6 to 8 thick slices of bacon, fried crisp and chopped up
- 2 average-sized tomatoes, sliced thin
- 1 big yellow onion, sliced really thin
- 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded by hand or store-bought
- Half a cup of mayo
- Half a cup of sour cream
- 1 tablespoon regular white flour
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or chives, chopped up
Directions
- Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and let it get hot while you prepare the other ingredients.
- In a medium skillet, toss your thinly sliced onions with some bacon grease. Cook them on medium heat until they are soft and brown, about 10 minutes. Let the onions cool for a bit.
- Start layering your pie. Place half of the cooked onions in the pie crust, then cover with half of the sliced tomatoes. Sprinkle half of the chopped bacon on top. Repeat the layers with the remaining onions, tomatoes, and bacon.
- In a bowl, mix together the mozzarella cheese, mayo, sour cream, flour, garlic powder, pepper, and salt until everything is well combined.
- Spread the cheesy mixture evenly over the layers in the pie dish. Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
- Once done, remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. If you like, sprinkle fresh parsley or chives on top before serving.
