Recipe Box, Ritzy Vidalia Onion Pie
Have you ever had an onion pie?
Or made a pie crust with Ritz crackers?
When I saw this recipe, Cheddar & Ritz Cracker Vidalia Onion Pie over on Turnips to Tangerines, I couldn’t wait to try it
Vidalia onions are grown in Georgia, famous for their sweet flavor, they don’t even make you cry when you cut them!
It’s totally retro with a Ritz cracker crumb pie crust
Melt the butter in your pie dish, add the crumbs, mix and pat into a crust
The original recipe called for more butter than I thought was necessary, so I reduced the amount for the crust
Saute the onions, but chop them rather than slicing like I did, it will make your pie easier to eat
Put the onions in the crust and pour the seasoned milk mixture over all
Now comes the cheese!
I usually recommend grating your own but I’ve gotten so lazy I think the Off the Block cheeses are very good
Into the oven it goes for 30 minutes
Let it sit for a few minutes to set before cutting
This is great as a side dish for grilled meat or chicken

Jenna, I love Vidalia onion pie, but I never thought of using Ritz crackers as the crust. This would be the perfect side dish for summer. Have a wonderful day!
thanks Pam, I loved the cracker crust, it’s lighter than a traditional pie crust and so easy to make!
Such an easy recipe, this pie looks delicious. Thanks Jenna
easy it is!
I have to admit, this looks really good!
Gotta give this recipe a try!! Thanks, Jenna!
Thank you Rosie!
My cholesterol is going up and so is my grocery bill when (and it’s when, not if) I make this one!
ha ha, I hope not! I did reduce the butter from original recipe 🙂
I have not heard of onion pie so I’m happy you introduced it! I think this would make a great dish to make, easy and it has to be delicious. I know I would love it. Got to try this recipe. Thanks Jenna.
It’s a nice change, thanks Emily!
how clever! could sure eat a piece of this now!
Love the Ritz cracker crust on your vidalia pie Jenna! Our favorite tomato pie recipe has caramelized onions in which we love! I might need to experiment with a Ritz cracker crust 🙂
I’m going to make another one soon, so easy and much lighter than a regular crust
Looks Really good! Will try with our next cook-out and pinning! Thanks Jenna! 😊
My husband loves Ritz crackers so I know he would enjoy this easy dish. Thanks Jenna.
yes I’ve had a very similar pie and it is SO GOOD. We use saltines… next time I’ll try the Ritz!
What a great Onion Pie, this looks delicious! Hope you are having a great week and thanks so much for sharing your awesome post with us at Full Plate Thursday!
