Photo: Deviled Tomatoes Recipe
Ingredients
- 6 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 cup chopped red onion
- 1 cup chopped green bell pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced
- 3 large tomatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 6 slices sourdough bread, toasted
- 3/4 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
Directions
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp, about 6 minutes. Transfer the bacon to paper towels and reserve the drippings in the skillet. Add the onions, bell peppers, garlic and jalapenos to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, scoop the flesh out of the center of the tomatoes and chop, reserving the shells. Add the chopped tomatoes to the skillet and stir in the oregano. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 2 minutes.
Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and heat the broiler.
Put the bread slices in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Top each slice of bread with a tomato half. Divide the vegetable mixture evenly among the tomato halves. Top the tomatoes with the bacon and cheese. Broil until the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes.

This recipe is amazingly yummy! My kids, ages 13 & 15, loved it! I did cut the amount of jalapeno to 1/2 pepper for four tomatoes since half of the family doesn't like the heat, but otherwise this was YUMMY! It was easy and I would highly recommend it.

Just watched these being made on TV the other day and had to run out to the store to by the ingredients as they sounded delish! Ms. Foose said to make some small holes in the bottom of the tomatoes to allow the juice to soak into the bread. I would not do that part again as I thought the bread was too "soggy". I also did not add the jalapeno as my significant other is a baby when it comes to spicy foods. The deviled tomatoes were very filling and could be a meal by themselves. I took a "left over" tomatoe for my lunch the next day and warmed it up in the microwave, toasted the sourdough bread in the toaster, and it was just as good the second day warmed up. Would definitely make again.
