Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 c peeled and chopped yellow onion
4 slice bacon (thick), diced
1 c sour cream
2 eggs, beaten
1 Tbsp flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 9-in. pie shell, unbaked
caraway seeds, optional

Steps:

1. Saute onion in a small amount of butter or oil until clear and pour cooked onion into a large mixing bowl.
2. Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain, chop and add to onion; mix well.
3. Stir in sour cream. Beat eggs enough to break up yolks, then mix into pie mixture.
4. Add flour to thicken mixture (onions will create a lot of water). Then add salt and pepper. Mix well and pour mixture into prepared pie crust. Sprinkle top with caraway seeds, if desired.
5. Bake in a preheated 425-degree oven about 1 hour, or until onions start to turn golden brown on top.
6. NOTE: You could experiment with different toppings if you don't like caraway seeds, such as lightly buttered bread crumbs, or a little shredded cheese.
