These are great! Simple, easy, tasty and everyone I've ever served them to absolutely loves them. After making them several times, I have to agree with other reviewers. Half mayo, half cream cheese and let them sit in the fridge at least a couple of hours. They are one of the first things to go, particularly in the summer when the tomatoes are fresh.

These were good but I didn't LOVE them. I'd make them again for a party though, they were pretty easy to make (though hollowing out the tomatoes was more of a pain than I thought it'd be!) I took some reviewer suggestions to add cream cheese because I didn't think I'd really care for using all mayo (I only had reduced fat mayo and it's not the great to eat a mouthful of.. ), but I think just a touch of cream cheese would have been better than using about half cream cheese/half mayo.

I made these for my daughter's Fairy themed bday party and they were a hit! The mixture got a little oily from the bacon, so next time I will try cooking it in the oven.

Have served these several times now and its been a hit every time! I do add a handful of finely shredded cheddar cheese, some garlic powder and black pepper. Scooping out the tomatoes is by far the worst part, but worth it in the end.

Made this for my annual Oscar Party, and it was a hit! I followed the suggestions to use half mayo, half cream cheese, and I really think that it gave it a good flavor and texture. Was surprised with how tasty these were. Only knocked off a star, because scooping out the cherry tomatoes was a bit time consuming and with small tomatoes almost impossible. Would definitely make again! Thanks!

Love Love Love this recipe! Thank you. I went with the 1/2 mayo, 1/2 cream cheese recommendation and I'm glad I did. I used fresh parsley, green onion and real bacon cooked in the oven so it was easy to crumble. I used tomatoes on the vine, a little bigger than cherry tomatoes, and it worked great. I also used the plastic bagmethod to squirt the mixture into the cups so the mess was minimized. SO worth the trouble. This was a hit on Superbowl at my house. :)

These are awesome! I agree with the other reviewers that the salting process is helpful. I served in a round dish with a toothpick in each one to make serving cleaner and easier. Last tip: cut the bacon short-ways before you put it in the pan; this way it is pre-diced before you cook it, and it saves time. Chop again after you've cooked and cooled to get it very fine.

These were very good, but very labor intensive. Next time, I might put a little less mayonnaise in there.

I get raves every time I make these! I used some other suggestions: I use 1/2 Kraft Free Mayo and 1/2 fat free sour cream, cut a tiny slice off the bottom to keep them from rolling, and drain upside-down on paper towels so the tomatoes aren't so wet. Great!!!
