This recipe has become my signature dish!
You’ve got to try it to believe how delicious it is. This delicious favorite is called Ramona’s Real Texas 1015 Sweet Onion Pie!
It’s Texas 1015 Sweet Onion season, and I can’t wait. I buy them up by the pounds! I slice, dice, chop and make a freezer full of Real Texas Onion Pies to freeze. Instead of taking a dessert to a party, or if I need to bake something to give to a friend, I just pull out one of my signature Onion Pies and it’s the talk of the food section.
Starting right now, the price of Texas 1015 Sweet Onions are super! As you can see, I purchased these at H.E.B.
You can make the thinner pies or you can make deep dish pies…they both are fantastic!
Real Texas 1015 Sweet Onion Pie 
4 Medium Texas 1015 Sweet Onions quartered and sliced

1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup chopped pecans
(2) 9″ unbaked pie crusts

Saute onions in butter in large pan until onions are slightly soft. Add remaining ingredients except for the chopped pecans. Pour into crust and sprinkle with chopped pecans.

Serve warm. Yummy!

Ramona, I tried this pie this morning and it met with RAVE reviews by the high school faculty!!
What a wonderful dish for many occasions!

It’s really a great recipe. It’s so hard to believe how tasty it is. I never tell anyone what it is until after they taste it.
Now you have a new signature dish!
I am not sure where my mom got the recipe, but she loved making, serving and eating onion pie.
I’m glad that now you have the recipe! Enjoy!
Awesome goodness….I just made this for a light-lunch party–smashing success. This Yankee is going to make it for a “Southern Luncheon” for all of my good friends next week. It is very much like a quiche, but I like that it doesn’t have cheese or cream like most other onion pies do. I will serve it with a blueberry muffin and fresh berries.
I am so glad it was a smashing success! It hasn’t let me down yet. Let me know what your good friends think about it next week.

I bought some so called 1015 “sweet” onions at Kroger’s the
other day and when I got home I cut one open and it tasted and smelled just like a harsh yellow onion.And no the onions weren’t mixed up,they were separate from all the other onions.
I thought the 1015 sweet onions didn’t have the bite of the yellow,purple,white,etc. onions?
I always heard you can peel the skin off the 1015 sweet onion and eat it like an apple without all the tears and it not biting into your tongue.
So what’s up with that?
Thank You
Hey Andrew:
It’s simple. Kroger made a mistake and DID NOT have authentic 1015 onions in that onion bin. I have NEVER had a 1015 onion that was not sweet and tasty. They are great on hamburgers as well as in an onion pie.
Give it another try with a genuine 1015 onion, or any other sweet onion. You’ll be glad you did.
do you freeze them after they are fully baked?
Yes I do. I just cover tightly with aluminum foil and label and put in the freezer. To heat up, I remove the foil and bake at 350 F degrees until heated through.
PS…you might want to wrap a little foil around the crust while you are heating it up so the crust won’t burn.
