Notes
- Be sure to get the larger size cherry tomatoes or you'll have a very difficult time stuffing these. They are sometimes called cocktail tomatoes.
- Also, I think regular iceberg lettuce would work fine in this recipe.
- You can use store-bought bacon pieces if you prefer.
- These are not an appetizer that can be made the evening before.
