Day's Tamater Pie

Mr. Charles Day, the barber on Hopewell, asked if I had ever had a Tamater pie. In Southern, that means Tomato Pie. (My Milton Cowboy friend taught me that, honestly I didn't know until he did.)

First make a pie crust. Or you can buy the "giggling dough boy" kind of butter biscuits (do not use the flaky kind) and use about 5 of them and press into a 9-10 inch pie pan.

Then take some homegrown tomatoes and peel the skin,  slice and distribute them evenly over the crust. Over that, add some sliced onion and then green bell pepper (also fresh from the garden). There are no exact measurements, you just eyeball it. But leave enough space for the cheese topping.

Mr. Day's favorite topping is Sharp Cheddar. But you can grate about one cup of whatever cheese you like best and mix with 1/2 cup of mayonnaise. Spread cheese mixture over the top of the pie.

A nice touch is sprinkled bacon bits on the top. Or olives. Mr. Day told says that whatever you like on pizza, you can put in this pie.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes until bubbly.
