Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 firm ripe tomatoes
3 slices bacon
¼ cup chopped onion
8 ounces fresh spinach, stems snipped
½ cup sour cream
¼ teaspoon hot pepper sauce
salt to taste
½ cup shredded Mexican cheese blend

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
  • Cut tops from tomatoes; remove seeds and membranes. Place tomato shells upside down on paper towels to drain until filling.
  • Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate, reserve drippings. Crumble bacon and set aside. Return 2 tablespoons of drippings to skillet.
  • Cook onion in the bacon drippings until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in spinach; cook and stir until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in sour cream, reserved crumbled bacon, and hot pepper sauce.
  • Sprinkle tomato shells with salt; fill evenly with bacon and spinach mixture. Place tomatoes in prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in preheated oven until hot, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove, and top evenly with the shredded cheese. Return to the oven; bake until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The tomatoes were a bit bland and the sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. I wouldn't make this again.
