Years ago there was a food bar at the mall that served stuffed tomatoes served with chips and a pickle for $1.50 a plate.
Stuffing could be just about any kind of chopped salad but my favorite was the bacon potato salad.
When the place closed down I found myself meeting a former cook at the place and they gave me the recipe.
So simple and easy, go to the deli section of your supermarket. buy made salad, ham, tuna chicken etc there. Next take BIG tomatoes home grown if possible, core them , set the insides aside. Mix into the tomato seeds and pulp a few spoon full of mayo and coat the tomato shells , add cooked bacon cover and chill everything for an hour.
Come time to eat remove all from the fredg. mix the salad, and add to the shells. Top with sliced radishes and black pepper or scallions.
When we had Friday pot luck at work I would buy a dozen or so tomatoes and stuff them then head for the lady that made the best stuffed eggs I have ever eaten, she raised her own chickens and would not give out her family's recipe.
This was in TENN. so somewhere in then she had some kind of seasoning or hot sauce. I wonder now years later if she used Lowry's season salt ?? I have never been in a black cooks kitchen when there was not a half full bottle of that stuff used in most everything.
