SAVORY ONION PIE, ASHTON STYLE #(121)

The  closest dish to onion pie might be French Onion Soup.  When I was young, hated onions with a passion.  My mother had to swear that there were none even in her chili.  Today I put them in almost every recipe I make.  I  have  said before that every newly married woman can make her mother in law believe that she is a great cook just by frying some onions just a half an hour before her in law arrives.  The smell suggests one is a great cook!  The following recipe also happens not only to smell good but to also taste good.
