If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I made these awesome stuffed tomatoes on Sunday. Everyone in my family loved them! They were definitely “blog worthy”.
My mom used to make stuffed bell peppers when I was a kid and I remember liking the filling but hating the pepper. These baked tomatoes are so delicious, you will definitely want to eat the tomato with it! They don’t get mushy or anything, they become a little tender but still firm. The filling is so flavorful and delicious. I can’t wait to mess around with this recipe more and add other fillings! Have you made stuffed tomatoes before? If so, I’d love to hear what you put inside them! Give this recipe a try and let me know what you think!
