I can't remember what post it was in, but could you type out the recipe for me?  Thanks.

Cherry Tomato Poppers

1.5 (16 oz) packages bacon
2 pints cherry tomato
1/2 cup mayo
1/2 cup chopped green onion

-Cook bacon until crisp.  Drain on paper towel, crumble, and place in a bowl.
- Using the tip of a small knife, core tomatoes.  Remove some pulp and discard.
- Using a small knife, stuff a portion of the mixture into the tomato.
- If tomatoes tend to roll, slice a thin layer off the bottom

The tomato is a pain in the butt.  I've tried figuring out how to get the same tomato/filler ration in a different way, but haven't yet.  The grape tomato is a bit easier to work with, but these really are worth the annoyance.  They look pretty and taste great.  (and I don't even like tomatoes)

Have you ever used the real bacon pieces sold at the grocery store?  (Not Bacos, a step up from those lol.)  Because I so can't see myself actually cooking bacon just for these unless it's really, really worth it.

I have not used the bits, but I have used the "precooked" bacon.  You know the stuff you just have to microwave for just 10 seconds a slice?  I figure one box is like one pound because you don't have the waste.  I actually use that bacon for a lot of things.

This might work: http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/chef-n-strawberry-huller/?pkey=e%7Cstrawberry%2Bhuller%7C1%7Cbest%7C0%7C1%7C24%7C%7C1&cm_src=PRODUCTSEARCH||NoFacet-_-NoFacet-_-buy%20more%20save%20more%20event%20-%20copy-_-

I use it on regular tomatoes to cut the stem part out, but have never tried it on cherry tomatoes.  Might be worth a shot...
