Bacon Pie?

[IMWalt]

I swear I saw a recipe here recently that used potatoes, bacon and onions layered in a pie dish. I have some bacon in the fridge I need to use up, and my garden is willing to give up some onions, and baked potatoes are a staple in my house so I always have those. Also have some redskins that would work nicely.

Anyway, I can't find the recipe now. I'm sure it was here, but I could be wrong. Sound familiar to anyone?

It doesn't sound familiar, but I hope someone knows because it sounds really good!

Sounds like a pretty easy thing to make without a recipe. Much like potatoes o'groton I'd say. Just slice the potatoes and onions, layer potatoes, then bacon, then onions. Repeat until you've filled the dish, or run out of ingredients, whichever comes first

Cheese sounds like a good addition too. For spices, whatever you like, really. There aren't any rules, but my first thoughts are oregano, basil, cumin, and salt & pepper.

There are so many possibilities here. It has some similarities to omelet. You could add bell peppers, diced tomatoes, mozzarella, eggs (beaten), or whatever you like. Usually I just toss in whatever feels right. I make it up as I go along.

If you don't find the recipe, who cares? Just wing it!

not the pie, but ingredients might work for what you have on hand & in garden:

one of my spouse's favorites is bacon, sliced summer squash and/or zucchini, and onions

fry the bacon, remove from pan,

drain some grease if you wish (depending on taste & fat requirements),

add in coarse chopped onion, once that cooks a bit

add in the squash.

Meanwhile tear the bacon into pieces (4-5 per slice),

mix &

serve.

Can add some tamari if you like. We usually season with ground black pepper and oregano.

I too feel like I have seen such a recipe, but I can't think where I saw it.

I recently made some potatoes in the crockpot. I thinly sliced potatoes and onions and layered them in the crockpot adding a bit of olive oil between the layers. I filled the crock and then poured 8 oz. of vegetable broth over it and cooked on low for about 8 hours. Very yummy! I'll bet you could sub in some cooked bacon for the olive oil. Or maybe even raw bacon. I just like my bacon crispy!

How about this?

You would have to sub in a gluten-free pasta and perhaps use bacon that you cooked as opposed to the bits.

Sounds good Patti

Here's what I ended up doing. It was very good but not quite what I hoped for. I am my own worst critic. My wife and son ate it and liked it.

I layered sliced russet potatos, bacon, and slices of red onion. I tucked little pearl onions from my garden around the layers and then poured some chicken stock over it. I topped it with bacon slices and baked covered at 350 for about an hour. I then took the top off to let the top layer of bacon crisp up a bit for 10 minutes. The pearl onions weere really good. I like the milk and egg idea, so maybe I'll try that next time I have some bacon I need to use up.
