These quick hors d'oeuvres may be mini, but their bacon and tomato flavor is full size. I serve them at parties, brunches and picnics, and they're always a hit...even my kids love them. —Kellie Remmen, Detroit Lakes, Minnesota

My husband and I make this recipe for almost every gathering we go to. However, because neither of us are very fond of tomatoes, we've replaced them with cucumbers and use the filling as a dip.

I have made these several times. I do add chopped water chestnuts to the filling.

I've made these for years. One of my most requested appetizers. I might even use "administrator's" idea, but modify it further by mixing chopped tomato in with the filling and serving as a dip!

After making the Bites, I had a brainstorm. For summer fresh tomatoes, cut thick slices of big tomatoes, place on a butter lettuce leaf, spoon the BLT filling over the tomato, decorate with chive straws and serve as a salad. Divine.

These were absolutely wonderful.The filling went farther than the recipe shows. I took the suggestion and used a little of the chve and onion cream cheese spread for part of the mayonaise. I took them into work and they were gone within 1 hour. I will definitely keep this recipe handy!

Have brought these to many events and they always disappear. I cut the bottom of the tomato, very slightly, so they stand up better in the pan. Plus, they are bite size and not messy, perfect for summer get togethers!

I've made these several times w/ a few changes. Pick larger cherry tomatoes b/c it's easier to scoop out the pulp w/ a grapefruit spoon. To save the hassle of cooking bacon, use a 3oz package of Oscar Meyer real bacon bits (not pieces), or less if you choose, and 1/4 cup mayo and 1/4 cup of chive and onion cream cheese. The rest is per the recipe. Can make ahead and refrigerate. Delicious!
