ingredients
- 8 medium ripe but firm tomatoes (medium-to-large)
- 1⁄2 lb sliced bacon
- 1⁄4 head lettuce
- 1⁄2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 green onions, chopped fine
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise

directions
- With a serrated knife, slice the tops off tomatoes and reserve tops. Remove the cores and discard. Using a small spoon (a grapefruit spoon works well), scoop out tomato pulp & seeds from the tomatoes, reserving 1/2 cup good tomato bits/pulp. Let tomato shells drain upside-down on paper towels.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat, cook bacon until crisp; transfer bacon to paper towel to drain.
- Thinly slice lettuce into fine shreds and transfer lettuce to a medium or large mixing bowl. Add reserved tomato bits or pulp, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, mayonnaise, vinegar, Beau Monde seasoning and hot pepper sauce; stir until well blended. Crumble the cooked bacon and stir into the lettuce mixture.
- Place tomato shells upright on a large platter. Spoon lettuce filling into the tomato shells, mounding slightly. Replace tomato tops. Serve immediately.

I love to cook! I enjoy trying new recipes, tweaking recipes, and creating my own original recipes. Born and raised on a farm, I began learning how to cook since I was very small. I am a HUGE animal lover! I have a beautiful Dalmatian named Rock, who is my baby and a very good boy. He brings me so much joy!
