Recipe Ingredients:

1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
1 teaspoon butter
1 1/2 cups chopped onions
1/4 pound mushrooms, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon crushed dried thyme

Cooking Directions:

1. Arrange crust in 9-inch pie pan; set aside.
   Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
