Ken loves trying new things in the smoker as you know if you follow along here. Stuffed Smoked Tomatoes is a perfect summer side dish when the tomatoes are fresh and full of flavor!!
The smoky bacon marries so nicely with the tomato, garlic, and Parmesan.
They are easy to make and are cooking while you prepare the rest of the meal. A great side dish that goes well with everything from fish to steak. Also, try our delicious Spinach Artichoke Stuffed Tomatoes, so good.

What’s the whipping cream for? I don’t see it called for in the instructions.

I have made the correction, it goes in at the end with the bread crumbs, bacon etc. Thanks for letting me know, I appreciate that!!

Beautiful! I remember smoking tomatoes in culinary school, and thinking it was a bit crazy. But seriously – it’s awesome.

We loved them!! Ken is the master at the smoker. I think he needs a new one as this one is giving up the ghost soon. Thanks for coming over Lori!!

Wow, these look terrific, Tara! Now if someone would just drop off some garden tomatoes at my doorstep, I’d be set 🙂
