Tomato Bacon Cups!

Not only do I have the recipe for you, but there’s VIDEO too…so there is NO REASON for you not to try this recipe yourself.

Tomato Bacon Cups

Ingredients:

• 1 small tomato, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup real bacon bits (As always, replace “bacon bits” with actual bacon you make then chop…)
• 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 tube (12 ounces) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits, separated into 10 biscuits

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, combine the tomato, mayonnaise, bacon, cheese, onion and basil; set aside.
2. Split each biscuit into three layers; press each layer into an ungreased miniature muffin cup.
3. Spoon tomato mixture into cups.
4. Bake at 450 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.
5. Serve warm.

Yield: 2 1/2 dozen
