This handwritten recipe card was found in a large collection and is dated 1979 (on the back). I’ve typed it out below along with a scanned copy (front side only).

Onion Pie

Make a crust of 30 small square crushed saltine crackers and 1/2 c. of melted butter.

Saute until golden brown 3 c. thinly sliced onions in 1/4 c. butter. Put these on top cracker crumbs in shallow casserole. Sprinkle on top onions 1/2 lb grated sharp cheddar cheese.

This may be fixed hours ahead of time.

When time to put in oven add:

1 1/2 c. scalded milk to 3 beaten eggs
1/2 tsp salt – 1/2 tsp pepper

Pour mixture over the onion cheese mixture in casserole. Bake at 350° 1/2 hour or until custard sets.
