Old Fashioned Tomato Pie

The baking temperatures are 400 for the crust, 375 for the complete pie. I think I hurried over those in the video.

I wonder about adding some flour with the tomatoes to firm up the liquid during baking. The crust looks perfect, such a beautiful pie. I like your idea of adding spinach, that would be good, too.
I remember my grandmother making this (she was born in 1889). She would slice the tomatoes and onions and bake them in the oven for about 20 minutes first to get the moisture out and give them a head start before making the pie. She added what was left from the garden so every tomato pie we had was a bit different.

This was soooo helpful! My mom wasn’t a cook so even when I follow recipes there are things that aren’t intuitive to me. I love your calm, thorough videos.

[@DebbiesBackPorch]

I'm so glad! Sometimes my videos get a little long because I assume I need to tell every little detail, but I have learned that some people appreciate it. Thank you for watching.

Looks fabulous!

This is a new twist on tomato pie for me, and I can’t wait to try it. I may add some fresh baby spinach as you suggested. Thanks for another great video.

As my partner in crime here, you are so welcome. Hahaha.

Debbie,
Thank you so much for another beautiful wonderful creative recipe. I remember when I was younger eating green tomatoes pie. It was very delicious. I've never found a nice recipe for green tomato pie. This beautiful red tomato pie looks so yummy. Thank you and God Bless You. Hope your feeling better. Love Tamson from Kentucky 💕💕 🌼🌷 😇💖

[@DebbiesBackPorch]

Thank you, Tamson. I am almost totally recovered. I am trying to build my strength back up. At my age, it is use it or lose it. I have been building a new garden spot that is easier to maintain. I will post a little about that in coming weeks.

@@DebbiesBackPorch Debbie, I'm 57 and noticing how easy it can be to get stiff faster if I'm less active. Indeed your correct on use it or loose it. I truly enjoy your beautiful channel. It's so comforting and fantastic recipes. God Bless You. Love Tamson from Kentucky 💕 💕🌼 🌷😇 💖

I love tomato pie and yours looks delicious!

[@hgonzalez4966]

Bless your heart! Love hearing your voice. I will be making this tomato pie soon! Thank you and God Bless!

[@DebbiesBackPorch]

It is so good. Thanks for watching.

[@mosecall9046]

Never heard of this before but I am making this wow

[@kstewart3901]

I don't think I've ever really heard of tomato pie, but it does sound like it would be good!

[@DebbiesBackPorch]

I guess it is a regional thing. It is very tasty. Savory, not sweet.

[@TheBeagleDad]

Delicious!!!! I love what you did with the crust I'll definitely be changing my pie crust up to that. The addition of onion is awesome. BTW love that "man" sized slice!!

[@DebbiesBackPorch]

This crust may be too tough for your apple pie and such, but it works great on "wet" pies, like this and pot pies.

[@Michelle-lu1gi]

Hi Miss Debbie! I love your videos! That pie looks beautiful! Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and experience with all of us. The way you cook and sound is just like my grandma. Sure miss her. :). Have you tried making a pie crust low carb/keto? Thank you.

[@DebbiesBackPorch]

I have a couple posted. For keto, I would simply make a thick cheese layer, melt it, then add the rest of the ingredients.

[@66JLB]

There she is, Ms. Debbie!🤗👀

[@brendarigdonsbrensden.8350]

Did you think about using hot water pastry it’s very sturdy and easy too 👍 hubby loves tomatoes and eats tomato sandwiches so he would eat that but I’d have to reduce the cheese a bit 🥰

[@DebbiesBackPorch]

I will have to try that.

[@stefaniehasandras7473]

This looks very good, but I'd prefer cooked tomatoes and onions.

My oatmeal just started tasting blah.
