Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4 slices bacon
• 1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
• 4 egg
• 6 pounds onions, sliced
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon caraway seed
• 1 package pastry double crust pie

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Stir in sour cream. Beat eggs enough to break up yolks, then mix in to pie mixture. Add flour to thicken mixture (onions will create a lot of water), then add salt. Mix well and pour mixture into prepared pan. Sprinkle top with caraway seed.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a 15x10-inch pan or large pizza pan with prepared dough, making sure dough extends up sides of pan.

Step 3

Sauté onion in a skillet until translucent and pour cooked onion into a large mixing bowl. Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, chop and add to onion; mix well.

Step 4

Bake in preheated oven until onions start to turn golden brown on top, about 1 hour.
