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 pepper, to taste

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) so it’s ready to bake as soon as your pie is assembled.

Cook the Bacon

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and crumble once cooled.

Caramelize the Onions

Using the same skillet, add the thinly sliced onions and cook slowly over medium heat until they become soft and golden brown. This process develops the natural sweetness of the onions, adding a deeper flavor to your pie.

Prepare the Tomatoes

Slice the tomatoes and lay them on paper towels to drain excess moisture. Removing extra liquid ensures your pie crust doesn’t become soggy during baking.

Assemble the Pie

Place your deep-dish pie crust into your pie dish. Layer the caramelized onions evenly on the bottom, followed by the drained tomato slices, and top with the crumbled bacon.

Prepare the Creamy Cheese Topping

In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix until a creamy, cohesive mixture forms.

Spread the Topping

Gently spread the cheese mixture over the layered ingredients in the pie crust, ensuring it covers the entire surface evenly.

Bake the Pie

Place the pie in your preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

Let Cool and Serve

Allow the pie to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the layers set and makes for cleaner slices.

Tips for Perfect Bacon Onion Tomato Pie

Drain Tomatoes Well: Excess moisture can cause the crust to become soggy. Patting your tomato slices dry ensures a firm crust.
Cheese Variations: While cheddar provides a sharp, creamy flavor, mixing in mozzarella or gouda can create a richer flavor profile.
Add Herbs: Fresh basil, parsley, or chives add a burst of freshness.
Spice It Up: Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the cheese mixture if you prefer a slight kick.
Use Quality Bacon: Thick-cut bacon works best for providing meaty, crispy bites throughout the pie.
