283. BACON PIE

1/2 lb. bacon
tomato sauce
biscuit mix
1 teaspoon grated onion or chopped green onion


Spead bacon thin in pie-pan or shallow casserole. Let heat in quick oven and pout off almost all fat.

Make one-half usual baking powder biscuit, mixing with tomato sauce [... or meat stock. It is a question of flavors. One good combination with bacon strips is milk in the biscuit mix, plus a generous half-cup of grated cheese.] instad of milk or water. Add the onion and any chopped herbs you like. Pour over the bacon, and bake in hot oven until firm and brown, about 20 minutes.
