Cheesy Sweet Onion And Mushroom Pie

Features:
    Cuisine:

    living in Costa Rica, my favorite word on my computer is substitute. Half and half not available here so used Whipping cream. Ritz crackers not found so used what looked to be the same Costa Rica cracker under a different name. I found this excellent, and I have moved it from my side dish book to my main book. I had company, added cubed ham on top (wish it could have been italian sausage, but none to be found in Costa Rica) and you have a wonderful main dish. Considering my company loves onions and mushrooms. I'll be making this again, now if I could only find some fresh mushrooms. Yummm.

    Cheesy Sweet Onion and Mushroom Pie With Cracker Crust, This pie is outrageously delicious! no pastry crust to make for this just use crushed Ritz crackers, this pie is perfect for potlucks or to serve with a main meal, might I suggest to make two, you just might eat one pie yourself lol! If possible use Vidalia onions for this, when I made this pie, I topped it with crumbled bacon, but that is optional Of coarse fresh sauteed mushroom are better, but canned will do, you can also make this using regular onions in place of sweet onions, just add in a couple teaspoons of sugar when sauteeing them to Throw in some cooked Italian sausage too YUMMMMMMM!, living in Costa Rica, my favorite word on my computer is substitute Half and half not available here so used Whipping cream Ritz crackers not found so used what looked to be the same Costa Rica cracker under a different name I found this excellent, and I have moved it from my side dish book to my main book I had company, added cubed ham on top (wish it could have been italian sausage, but none to be found in Costa Rica) and you have a wonderful main dish Considering my company loves onions and mushrooms I’ll be making this again, now if I could only find some fresh mushrooms Yummm , We enjoyed this for dinner last night, and being tired at the end of a week, I was really pleased with the no pastry base that this recipe offered The crumb crust was just so easy to make – and delicious I omitted the cayenne pepper from the crust and the filling (personal taste preference) but otherwise followed the recipe, except for two additions I added four cloves of chopped garlic with the onions and a teaspoon of thyme I opted for fresh mushrooms – button mushrooms and Swiss browns – and sauted these with the onions so that they had released all their moisture before I added them to the pie used just over a pound of mushrooms I didn’t notice the inclusion of bacon till I got to step 13, but next time I make this recipe – and I’m planning to make it when I have more time so that I can make two – I’ll certainly add bacon Loved the paprika on the top A superbly flavoursome recipe Thanks KITTENCAL
