Bacon Onion Tomato Pie ready to be sliced.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

If you grew up in the South, you most likely have had a version of tomato pie in the summer. This bacon onion tomato pie is full of fresh, sweet tomatoes. Onions in the filling and green onions sprinkled on top add a nice flavor. Bacon mixed with cheese and mayonnaise add the perfect savory flavor to the pie. A crushed cracker topping is buttery and adds a little crunch. Sweet, smoky, and savory, the flavors remind us of a BLT. A delicious pie to use summer tomatoes.

How To Make bacon onion tomato pie

Test Kitchen Tips

Tomatoes put off a lot of liquid naturally. If you want to avoid that, you can seed the tomatoes. Or, slice the tomatoes, place them on a paper towel with a little salt, and let the salt draw out some of the liquid.

Step 1

Prick the pie shell with a fork. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes.

Step 2

Fry bacon. Cook till tender. Drain and set aside.
Step 3

Peel and slice tomatoes to fill the bottom of the pie shell. Sprinkle with chopped onion, salt, and pepper.
Step 4

Layer more tomatoes; salt and pepper (again).
Step 5

Mix mayo, bacon, cheese, and milk. Spoon on top and pat down to cover tomatoes.
Step 6

Mix the crushed Ritz crackers and butter. Then spread on top of the pie.
Step 7

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Step 8

Sprinkle scallions on top.
