How to Make B L T Stuffed Tomatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Slice the tops off the 6 large ripe tomatoes using a serrated knife and reserve the tops.
  3. Remove and discard the cores from the tomatoes.
  4. Using a small spoon, gently scoop out the tomato pulp and seeds, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pulp and bits.
  5. Invert the tomato shells and let them drain upside down on paper towels for 10 minutes.
  6. While tomatoes drain, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain. Crumble bacon once cooled.
  7. In a medium bowl, combine the reserved tomato pulp, shredded lettuce, cheddar cheese, sliced green onions, mayonnaise, vinegar, Beau Monde seasoning, hot pepper sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  8. Gently stir in the crumbled bacon.
  9. Place the tomato shells upright on a baking sheet.
  10. Spoon the lettuce mixture into the tomato shells, mounding slightly.
  11. Replace the tomato tops.
  12. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tomatoes are heated through and the filling is bubbly.
  13. Serve immediately and enjoy!
