This is one of the first dips I came up with on my own. It's not much of a recipe really, just an experiment with a block of cream cheese that turned out to be genius. You can make this as a dip for vegetables or crackers, or you can stuff tomatoes. It's delicious either way, but served as BLT Bites they are crowd pleaser.
If you want to stuff the tomatoes, you have to save some time for preparation. Cut off the tops of each tomato, use the end of a spoon or a tiny measuring spoon to gut out the seeds and juice. Put them upside down on a paper towel to drain moisture until you are ready to stuff. Get comfy because this takes some time, and you're going to want to make enough for each guest to have more than one.
Combine 1/2 block of CREAM CHEESE, with 1/2 pound cooked crumbled BACON, 1 generous handful of CHEDDAR CHEESE grated small, 1 bunch of GREEN ONION chopped. Once combined, this mixture will appear quite thick and more spreadable than "dipable" so add a generous squirt of THREE CHEESE RANCH DRESSING to give it the dipable consistency. Finish with BLACK PEPPER (a pinch or three) mix well and refrigerate.
Looks great!
