Low Carb Recipe Ideas
It is tomato season! This great summer recipe Low Carb Bacon & Cheese Stuffed Tomatoes is easy to make and packed full of nutrients. I make this dish often – my family really likes it. Besides being flavorful, the tomatoes make a colorful, zesty addition to any dinner or you could use smaller tomatoes and use them as appetizers.
The best part about this recipe is that we are not baking the tomato, you are eating it fresh with its original texture and fantastic flavor.
I feel like I am eating a bacon, tomato and cheese sandwich without the bread.
Tip: If you don’t have bacon crumble you can substitute with strips of cooked bacon cut up.
Bacon & Cheese Stuffed Tomato
3 Medium size tomatoes
3 tbls heaping Bacon Crumble (precooked bacon you put on pizza)
4 tbls Cheddar Cheese
½ tsp. Garlic Dip
Cut the tops off of the tomatoes and use a melon scoop or a spoon to scoop out the inside, separating the flesh from the skin. Slice the bottom of tomato so it sits flat.
In a frying pan heat up the bacon add cheese until melted.
Drain juice out of hollowed out tomatoes.
Stuff the tomatoes with the bacon and cheese.
Top with my Garlic Dressing.
