Impossibly Easy BLT Pie

 
     When I saw this BLT Pie from Betty Crocker I put it at the top of my list of recipes to try in my dutch oven.  It's like a BLT all rolled into a quiche-like Bisquick Pie.  The recipe calls for it to be baked in a 9 inch pie plate.  Therein lies the dilemma, do you make it in your 10 inch oven and settle for it being a little thinner and cooking in less time or do you try it in your 8 inch oven, cooking it a bit longer and taking the chance of it rising too high and burning on the top?  I opted for my 10 inch oven and baked it with 8 coals in a circle around the bottom and 22 on the lid.  Let it sit for a few minutes then slather wedges of the warm pie with mayonnaise and sprinkle with tomato and lettuce.  This is really a treat, if you're a BLT fanatic you're bound to love this warm, cheesy pie.
