6. #### Ingredients (for 4 servings):
7. - 4 large ripe tomatoes
8. - 8 oz elbow macaroni
9. - 6 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
10. - 1 cup creamy shredded cheddar cheese
11. - ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
12. - 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
13. - 2 cups whole milk
14. - Salt and pepper to taste
15. - 1 tbsp butter
17. #### Instructions:
19. ##### Step 1: Preheat the Oven
20. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the tomatoes will bake evenly, maintaining their shape.
22. ##### Step 2: Prepare the Tomatoes
23. Using a small spoon, gently scoop out the seeds and some of the pulp from each tomato. Place them in a baking dish.
25. ##### Step 3: Cook Bacon
26. In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Crumble the cooked bacon once it's cool enough to handle.
28. ##### Step 4: Make the Cheese Sauce
29. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour to form a roux, cooking for about 1 minute. Gradually add milk while whisking continuously until smooth and slightly thickened.
31. ##### Step 5: Combine Ingredients
32. Stir in cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Fold in the cooked bacon.
34. ##### Step 6: Stuff Tomatoes
35. Fill each tomato cavity with the cheese-bacon mixture. Make sure to pack it in tightly so that the tomatoes are well-stuffed and the filling won't fall out during baking.
37. ##### Step 7: Bake
38. Cover the stuffed tomatoes with foil and bake for about 20 minutes. Remove the foil, sprinkle a bit more Parmesan on top if desired, and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tomatoes are tender.
40. ##### Step 8: Serve
41. Serve hot as a main dish or side, garnished with additional grated Parmesan and fresh herbs if you like. Enjoy your creamy, cheesy, and tomato-stuffed mac and cheese!
