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

I made these for a halloween party this year and they were a huge hit! I had several requests for the recipe. I made a couple minor changes and used real bacon bits instead of cooking and crumbling bacon. This saved a lot of time and was much more convenient. Also, I don't think I used quite as much Parmesan as the recipe calls for. Another tip is that I used a 1/8 teaspoon to hollow out the tomatoes instead of a regular spoon, it's smaller and worked much better. I'll be making these for many more events/parties!

Okay, but I used grape tomatoes because they were all I could find...wouldn't recommend that. They were too small and most of filling was not used. While tasty, it was finicky to get the filling into the tomatoes themselves. Would make again but use bigger tomatoes. The filling however was very yummy to munch on after.

These taste awesome! They are a bit of a pain to try to stuff in the little tomatoes. I am going to make them for a Christmas party, but I will have to prepare the tomatoes at home and fill them once I arrive. I will put the bacon through the food processor and put the filling in a piping tool. I think it will make it much easier and less messy than trying to travel with them already prepared.

I used this recipe for the first time for a cookout and it was a hit with everyone, even people who didn't care for tomatoes!! Awesome recipe!!

Very tasty, but I would not make it again. I selected this for a picnic because it was labeled as "quick". Not so much. The filling only took about 5 minutes but it took me over an hour to prepare them with the cutting, scooping and filling. Then I had to cut the bottoms because they would not stand up on the platter. This led to some casualties because some of the tomatoes just weren't big enough which meant I had to make even more. Very tedious and time-consuming work for 25 bites of tomato.

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.
