Sooooo good!!!!!! Saw the recipe in a magazine but looked up Paula's on computer. Am really glad I did. Could have eaten the whole pie. Can't wait to try the Vidalia onion pie. I am sure it will be just as good.

I have been making this ever since I read it in one of Paula's first cookbooks. My only problem is that I cannot make it real often, because I could eat the whole pie alone! I always squeeze the tomatoes, after peeling them to get rid of extra mositure and seeds. One of my top favorite recipes from Paula. Very consistent.

This was simply amazing, my kids were leery at first then had to take a bite now it is a fixture on my table at least twice a week. Thanx Paula your recipes are amazing and love almost everyone I make.
