Instructions
1
Cook and Crumble Bacon
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Begin baking the pie shell for about 9 to 10 minutes, just until it starts to turn golden brown. While that’s in the oven, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it’s nice and crispy. Once done, drain the bacon on paper towels, crumble it up, and set it aside.

Prepare and Mix Filling
Next, chop the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and dice the onion and green bell pepper. In a big bowl, combine the mayonnaise, cheeses, chopped vegetables, and the crumbled bacon. Give everything a good mix, then spoon this filling into your partially baked pie shell. Sprinkle a little extra crumbled bacon on top for some added crunch.

Bake Until Golden
Pop the pie back in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the edges are beautifully browned and the filling is hot and bubbly. Let it cool a bit before serving, and enjoy!

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently in the oven to keep the crust crisp, or microwave if in a hurry, but expect a softer texture. This pie can also be frozen; wrap tightly and thaw overnight before reheating.
