🍴KEY INGREDIENTS
- 9 inch pie shell

- Zucchini
- Red tomato
- Red onion
- Bacon
- Cheese, (I used mozzerella and cheddar)
- Mayonnaise
- Dried basil
- Dried oregano
SWAPS
If you don’t like any of the vegetables you can replace them with vegetables you do like. I think mushrooms would be a wonderful addition or bell peppers. The seasoning in this recipe gives this dish an Italian flavor, almost like a pizza. You could also add more tomato!
🍽️HOW TO MAKE
This dish is pretty simple to make and great for a busy night.
COOKING STEPS
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400. Cook bacon until crispy, set aside to drain. Add squash, zucchini, red onion to already warm skillet and saute in bacon grease for 3-4 minutes, until it’s starting to soften. If you like vegetables really done, then cook them to the desired consistency you like.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of cheese and mayo. Remove squash and zucchini and layer half of the mixture into the bottom of the pie shell.
Step 3
Top with half of the sliced tomatoes and then spread cheese on top of mixture, then add half of the chopped bacon.
Step 4
Next add remaining zucchini, squash, tomatoes, bacon and top with 1/4 cup of cheese and top with seasonings. Bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes.

PASTA SALADS
I love this pie served hot and fresh. You can always switch out the bacon for turkey bacon if you prefer. We make our own pie crust, but you an easily use a roll out pie crust from Pillsbury.

Delicious Garden Pie! Was planning on taking to a church picnic, but decided to stay home & eat ourselves!!
Changes I made: used horseradish cheddar cheese, used only 2 teaspoons of mayo ( I’m not a mayo fan) everything else was great,!! Followed, except more BACON, Lots of CHEESE, & next time will saute mushrooms. But, as is, very tasty!
I’ve made the tomato pie several times but had a couple zucchini’s I needed to use so I made this for dinner and it was DELICIOUS! Hub couldn’t decide which pie he liked the best so he suggested I might need to make both again to decide.lol
So glad this was a hit! We love this dish too!
When do you use the dried herbs ? How long can
this be refrigerated! Thanks.

After I make the garden veggie pie, how long can it be kept in the refrigerator before I give it to my neighbors?
Made this today Oh My God so good
I made this for guests last weekend and we all loved it! This is a wonderful recipe. I love your website and magazine. I know it’s a lot of work..so thank you for all of it.
Thank you so much for the kind comment! We love this recipe too and always look forward to making it every summer.
Just fixed this for dinner and it is EXCELLENT! I used bacon bits instead of frying bacon so I saute’d the veggies in a little butter. Used 2tsp of Italian Seasoning in lieu of basil & oregano. NOTE: instructions as written do not mention the seasonings so, based on the photo, I sprinkled on top before putting in oven. Bake time 30 minutes and I let it cool/rest for about 20 minutes. Will definitely be making this again.
So glad you enjoyed this recipe and thank you for bringing that to my attention. I must have been distracted when I was typing it up! It’s been corrected. We love this recipe too.
do you bake pie crust first?
No, I didn’t cook the pie crust first.
