Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 9-inch pre-baked pie shell
  • 5 large ripe tomatoes peeled and sliced
  • 4 slices bacon cooked and chopped
  • 1 sweet onion thinly sliced or chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1½ cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • ¼ cup crushed Ritz crackers
  • 2 teaspoons melted butter
  • 2 green onions scallions, thinly sliced

Method
 

Prep the Tomatoes:
  1. Place sliced tomatoes on a paper towel-lined tray. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 15–20 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat dry to prevent a soggy pie.
Sauté the Onion (Optional):
  1. If you prefer softer onions, lightly sauté the sweet onion in a little bacon grease until translucent. Otherwise, you can use them raw for extra texture and bite.
Layer the Pie:
  1. In the pre-baked pie crust, layer the tomato slices, chopped bacon, and onion. Season with pepper.
Mix the Topping:
  1. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, milk, and shredded cheddar cheese. Spread this mixture evenly over the tomato-bacon-onion filling.
Add the Topping:
  1. In another bowl, mix the crushed Ritz crackers with melted butter. Sprinkle over the top of the pie.
Bake:
  1. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Garnish & Serve:
  1. Let cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with sliced green onions just before serving.
  2. Enjoy!
