Ingredients
- 1 deep-dish pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 6–8 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2–3 medium tomatoes, sliced and drained
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pie crust into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate and set aside.
2. Prepare the Bacon and Onions
Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy.
Remove and drain on paper towels, then crumble.
In the same skillet, sauté sliced onions until golden and soft, about 8–10 minutes.
3. Prepare the Tomatoes
Slice the tomatoes and let them sit on paper towels to drain excess moisture.
Lightly season with salt and pepper.
4. Assemble the Pie
Layer sautéed onions evenly in the bottom of the pie crust.
Add a layer of sliced tomatoes, then sprinkle crumbled bacon on top.
5. Mix and Spread the Topping
In a small bowl, combine shredded cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream.
Mix well until creamy.
Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the top of the pie.
6. Bake
Place the pie in the oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Let cool slightly before slicing.
Tips for Best Results
- Use firm, ripe tomatoes to avoid excess liquid
