- Place bacon in a large, deep frying pan. Cook over medium high heat for 6 to 8 minutes, or until evenly brown. Once cooled, dice and set aside.
- In a bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, bacon, onions and parsley until well blended. Set aside.
- Slice each tomato in half lengthways. Using a melon baller or small spoon, scoop out the inside of each tomato and discard. Fill each tomato with the bacon mixture, and refrigerate for 1 hour. Serve chilled.

WOW!! These are certainly tasty little devils. My six year old loves them. I am not a huge tomato fan but I loved them too. Guests were fighting over the last one and decided to cut in half!! The only thing I think I might change next time is to use 1/2 mayo and 1/2 cream cheese (maybe garden vegetable). I just think that would help the "oily" consitancy. Thank you so much for the post, Angela. Update: Tried this with 1/2 mayo & 1/2 garden vegetable cream cheese. Even yummier! - 21 Apr 2005 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
love 'em! some tips here: to prevent them from rolling around, don't cut the TOP off, cut the BOTTOM off and leave the top. also, I usually drain upside down of paper towel. one last thing - I use my food processor to get the bacon really chopped up, then fold in other ingredients. - 14 Oct 2006 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I suggest sprinkling salt in the tomato cavities after removing the seeds and pulp. Then, turn the tomatoes upside down on a paper towel for a short while to let the excess juices drain. The salt brings in a little extra flavor as well as pulling out some of the excess juice. Excellent recipe! - 22 Dec 2004 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
