Tomato Pie

Mom and Dad have the BEST homegrown tomatoes. I love tomato sandwiches with lettace and bacon. Here's a "pie" that i think is delicious.

5 or more large tomatoes
medium onion, chopped and caramelized
pie shell, cooked 10 minutes
real bacon bits or crumbled bacon
3 C sharp cheddar cheese (hold out 1 cup)
salt, pepper, basil, oregano
1 C mayonaise or miracle whip

Preheat oven to 400 degrees for pie shell, then down to 350 for tomato pie.
1. Bake a pie shell 10 minutes according to directions.
2. Chop up a medium onion and "caramelize" on stove top. After you chop the onion up, cook on medium high in a non-stick fry pan until golden brown.
3. Slice  around 4 - 5 tomatoes and put in colandar to drain. I don't peel them.
4. Mix in  bowl 2 cups extra sharp cheese, grated and 1 C of mayonaise or miracle whip. I throw in a handful (probably 1/4 C) of real bacon bits.
5. Grate another C cheese to save for the top later.
6. Layer in this order in your baked pie shell: onion, tomatoes (then I sprinkle a little oregano, basil, salt, pepper on top of  tomatoes), spoon on mayonaise  spread.
7. Cook in oven at 350 for 30 minutes. Sprinkle extra cheese  on top for the last 5 minutes.
8. Slice and serve. I  can eat 1/2 pie. I guess you  could feed 3 people or even four.
