Vidalia onions work perfectly in this recipe and that is why I wait til Vidalia season each year to bake up this cheese and onion pie.

There is no need for pastry anxiety on this beautiful pie, either, because it is a take on the dead easy hot water pastry and is almost impossible to overwork unlike most pie crusts. Meanwhile, line unpricked crust with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Remove foil; cool on a wire rack. This delicious pie has a buttery cracker crumb crust and is stuffed with sweet onions. It is superb along side any barbequed meat -- especially pork.
