This tasted great! I've been trying all sorts of onion recipes and this one reminds me a lot of perogies.. yum. The only two things I would do differently for next time would be 1) use a homemade crust as store bought was too fragile to lift the pie piece out of the pie plate and 2) mix the onion/bacon mixture into the sour cream/egg mixture as in recipe#952. Otherwise it was great :)2Reply
