Never had one....but now I am thinking I could give it a try.

Looks real good from here Travis!

LIKE!

Thanks John! Give it a try on the smoker!

Never heard of them before either. It looks very good. Do you remove the ritz crackers before adding the toppings? I like the picture of the spatula thief!

Steve, I first blind bake the crust. Then add the cracker crumbs and then tomato on top of them. I never used to do that but it really helps soak up the juice from the tomato cooking. Otherwise the crust on the bottom is soggy and falls apart.

That tomato pie looks pretty good Travis, I’ve heard of it but never tried it. The pie sounds delicious though!

Thanks! If you get the chance try it out, we really enjoy it!

@GATOR240 made tomato pies at the pa gathering the other year. We put one in the smoker and dang was it good.
Sowsage your tomato pie looks delicious

Thanks peachey! I have done a few in the smoker and they are awesome!

The pie and meal look really good. I had never heard of tomato pie until a couple of years ago on here and it caught my attention. I made some for the last two Pa. gatherings and they seemed to go over well. I haven't made any this year so I need to remedy that - with bacon.

Gator, Thank you! I think the next one I make will include bacon.

Might have to try this, possibly with canned tomatoes. I'm thinking instead of roasting the tomatoes in the oven as you did, maybe smoke them at 100 or so for a while, then build the pie.

Travis this is awesome! I’ve never heard of tomato pie before. I have quite a few tomatoes left. I may give this a go. I have a good keto pie crust. Will have to come up with something to sub in for crackers to hold some moisture. Definitely going to give it a try.

I'm in the 'never heard of it' crowd...but I LIKE IT! Sounds amazing! Bad thing is I have no more fresh tomatoes this season, my plants are long gone, having been pulled up a month ago, but I wil file this one away for next summer!

Thanks Jeff! If your using your own keto pie crust you could skip the "crackers" on the bottom and just make the bottom a little thicker. I think the biggest help is getting as much moisture out of the tomatoe as you can before baking it. And honestly its only so you can cut a piece and remove it without it falling apart. Another way to avoid that all together is to just make little small personal size pies and eat it right out of its own dish. Let me know if you give it a shot and how you liked it!

Jeff in the one we make we do not put crackers in the bottom. Drain the tomatoes good. We find that Roma tomatoes work best.
