Bacon and Tomato Cups

This will be one of my all time appetizers. Actually, I can make an entire meal of these with a nice bottle of wine. You can make the filling a day ahead, and then it takes only a minute to stuff the muffin tins and bake. It sits well at room temperature, and I haven't found anyone that doesn't love them. Cut back a little on the mayo, because it can cause them to become a little greasy when sitting around. I make triple what the recipe calls for, and they are still gone. BTW, the "per serving" amount means only one bite per person, and that just won't happen! These are outstanding!

Took these treasures to the in-laws' family reunion this past weekend, and they were a HUGE hit!! Tripled the recipe since it was such a large crowd to feed, and they were devoured! Read all of the previous reviews and incorporated several of them into the recipe. 1. Definitely use much less mayo... just enough to moisten. 2. Green onion works quite nicely in texture, taste, and overall presentation. 3. Cut bacon, then cook. 4. Added a little garlic powder and Hot Shots. 5. Bought 16 oz can biscuits b/c that's what the recipe called for... used the flaky grands buttermilk biscuits, cut them in 1/4's, shaped them into balls, then rolled with a rolling pin to flatten... makes nice little cups this way. 5. Was having to travel a long way with these in the car, so I cooked them the night before, kept them in a cooler on ice, then reheated them in the microwave when we got to the party. They turned out fine after their long journey. Will consider using cream cheese/milk mixture next time that previous reviewer suggested. May also try different variations such as canned chicken, pizza, quiche, philly cheese steak, ham, you name it! Great thing about this delightful recipe is the possibilities are endless!!

I took these to a party over the weekend and they were a hit!!! I used turkey bacon and low fat mayo. I received many comments on how good they were. I did have trouble getting them to cook though. I ended up removing some of the cups that looked cooked through and then finish cooking the cups that I couldn't get to cook through. I also had a lot of filling leftover. With a few adjustments on the prep., this recipe is a winner for me! I'll definitely make these again.
