Beccas Tomato Pie Recipes

TOMATO PIE

Steps:

• Prep: Preheat the oven to 450F. Prep a 9" pie dish with the pie crust.
• Prep tomatoes: Salt the tomatoes and set them aside to drain on a paper towel or kitchen towel lined plate for about 10 minutes. Carefully squeeze as much excess moisture out of the tomatoes with paper towel or the kitchen towel.
• Layer: the tomatoes, onion, and basil into the pie shell.
• Cheese mixture: Mix the cheeses, mayonnaise, garlic powder, hot sauce, salt, and pepper together. Spread this mixture over the tomatoes.
• Bake: for 25-30 minutes or until browned and bubbly. Let the pie cool down fully before slicing and serving.

THE BEST TOMATO PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350ºF and if making prepare the pie dough.
• Slice the tomatoes to about 1/4-inch in thickness and arrange them in a single layer on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Coat the tomatoes in salt and cover again with another layer of paper towels. Let sit for 10 minutes.
• In a medium bowl combine the shredded cheese, mayonnaise, fresh basil, and spices together until mixed well. Set aside.
• Place the 9-inch pie shell into your pie dish and arrange a single layer of sliced tomatoes on the bottom. Cover the tomatoes with half of the cheese mixture and repeat this step.
• Layer the last of the tomato slices on top, overlapping is okay, and firmly press them into the pie. This helps the ingredients come together.
• Place the pie into the oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until the cheese begins to bubble and the crust turns a golden brown.

BECCA'S POTATO BACON SOUP

Steps:

• Place cooked bacon in a large stockpot over medium-high heat; add potatoes, chicken broth, carrots, onion, parsley, celery seed, salt, and pepper. Bring mixture to a boil, cover stockpot with a lid, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring frequently and slightly mashing potatoes, until potatoes are fully cooked, at least 20 minutes. Add extra chicken broth if needed.
• Whisk milk and flour together in a bowl or measuring cup until frothy; slowly pour into soup while constantly stirring. Bring soup back to a simmer and cook until soup is thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Remove soup from heat and stir in American cheese until completely melted. Ladle soup into serving bowls and garnish with green onions.

BECCA'S CUSTOM TURKEY SHEPHERD'S PIE

Steps:

• Boil potatoes until tender. Mash with 3 tablespoons butter or margarine and milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
• Saute onion and carrots in olive oil until soft. Stir in ground turkey, parsley, thyme, and garlic. Once turkey is almost browned and broken up, add zucchini and mushrooms. Salt and pepper to taste. Drain. Stir in flour.
• Divide meat mixture into two whole wheat pie crusts. Sprinkle cheese over meat, if desired. Spread green beans over the cheese. Spread potatoes over all with a spatula; the mashed potatoes act as the top crust. Dot with butter.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 30 minutes, or until potatoes have browned slightly.

TOMATO PIE

Steps:

• Arrange the tomato and onion slices in a single layer on a paper towel-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 1 to 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Fit the pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges. Prick the bottom and sides with a fork. Line the crust with aluminum foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until the edges of the crust are just golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the foil and weights and continue to bake until the bottom of the crust is dry and brown, another 15 to 20 minutes. Cool completely.
• Mix together the Cheddar, mozzarella and mayonnaise in a medium bowl. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few cracks of black pepper.
• Transfer the tomatoes and onions to a dry paper towel and pat dry. Liberally season the tomatoes with cracked black pepper. Arrange a third of the tomatoes in a single layer in the pie crust, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle a third of the basil over the tomatoes and top with a third of the onions. Repeat twice with the remaining tomatoes, basil and onions. Spread the mayonnaise mixture over the top of the onions.
• Bake until the topping is golden brown and bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely. Garnish with basil leaves. Serve at room temperature.

CHEESE AND TOMATO POTATO BAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a frying pan, and add the grated carrot and diced onion. Cook over a medium heat for around 5 minutes, until fairly soft. Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika and dried herbs, and cook for 2 more minutes.
• Next, add the tomato sauce, tomato puree and about two thirds of the cherry tomatoes (save some back for topping), along with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer, and cook for a few minutes.
• Thinly slice the potatoes - I didn't bother peeling mine. If you're not planning to pre-boil the potatoes, make sure you don't cut them any thicker than a few millimetres. Or, if you want to cut them a bit thicker or you're pushed for time, pre-boil them until they're just tender.
• Add one spoonful of sauce to the bottom of a baking dish (mine measured 8 x 8 inches), and spread it around - this just stops the potatoes from sticking to the bottom of the dish. If you have a dish with a lid, that's ideal.
• Now layer the sliced potatoes, tomato sauce and grated cheese - I ended up with 4 layers of each in total. Just make sure the potatoes are always laid out in a single layer, to help them cook through (less important if you've pre-boiled them).
• When you've used all the potatoes, finish with one final layer of tomato sauce, the last bit of grated cheese, and the breadcrumbs, as well as any cherry tomatoes you held back earlier.
• If you didn't pre-boil the potatoes, add a lid to the dish (or cover with kitchen foil, if you don't have a lid), and bake at 190°C (Gas Mark 5 / 375°F) until the potatoes are soft (check by poking with a sharp knife). Mine took around an hour and a half in total, but the exact time will depend on the exact thickness of your potatoes.
• If you did pre-boil the potatoes, you can cook your potato bake at 190°C (Gas Mark 5 / 375°F) without a lid, until golden brown and crispy - around 20-25 minutes.
