Tomato Pie

 End of the summer the tomato plants are laden with yummy tomatoes. A neighbor Nancy shared a ton of her beauties with us and so I made this yummy recipe from ALLRECIPES. Great hot or room temp!

• 1 (9-inch) deep dish pie crust

• 4 large tomatoes, peeled and sliced

• ½ pound bacon - cooked, drained, and chopped

• 3 green onions, thinly sliced

• ½ cup chopped fresh basil

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder

• ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper

• 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese 

• ¼ cup mayonnaise

• 1. Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. In alternating layers, fill pie crust with tomatoes, bacon, green onions, basil, oregano, garlic powder, and red pepper.

  3. Stir together cheese and mayonnaise in a small bowl.

  4. Spread over the top of pie. Cover loosely with aluminum foil.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for 30 more minutes (This left our cheese and crust burnt- which I removed- it may have been the oven - so definitely check early).

  6. Serve pie warm or cold.
