Ingredients

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

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a 15x10-inch pan or large pizza pan with the prepared pie crust, ensuring it extends up the sides of the pan.

2

In a skillet, sauté onions until they become translucent. Transfer cooked onions to a large mixing bowl. Place bacon in a large, deep skillet and cook over medium-high heat until evenly browned. Drain, chop, and combine with onions; mix well.

3

Stir in sour cream, then beat eggs and add them into the pie mixture. Incorporate flour to thicken the mixture (onions will release a lot of water), followed by salt. Mix thoroughly and pour into the prepared pan. Sprinkle top with caraway seed.

4

Bake until onions turn golden brown on top, approximately 1 hour.
