In the course of a few weeks my garden has exploded with tomatoes. It seems like every time I go out there I have more tomatoes to harvest. This year I’m growing three varieties—an Early Girl and a Beefsteak which are both great for sandwiches, and Grape tomatoes. I love the tiny pop them in your mouth grape tomatoes, but right now I have so many of them it is almost impossible to eat them all.
What’s a girl to do but share?
Sure, I could just give them away as is, and I do, but even better is making a great appetizer out of them and sharing them over cocktails and conversation with friends.
One of my favorite recipes for these yummy little tomatoes is the Bacon Stuffed Tomato. It is kind of like a tiny bite sized BLT.
Sounds good, right? They are delicious and easy. Five ingredients. Five steps.

Well…these just look downright delicious.
Oh, holy shit. Those. Look. Awesome.
GET IN MY MOUTH.
That looks awesome, but I’m not a mayo person. I’d probably use sour cream.
I am not normally a tomato fan, but what isn’t made better with a bit of bacon? I will have to give these a go for sure! Om nom nom nom
I love tomatoes and everything else involved in this…I must make soon!
Im gonna try this but with full sized tomatoes, then i will either make a cheddar cheese sauce or just lay sliced cheddar over the top and pop em in the oven to melt the cheese
