These are a great meal and absolutely packed with flavor. Perfect served alongside a fresh salad and some crusty bread.
Stuffed tomatoes are a complete meal in themselves (although a nice side of garlic bread never hurts)!
What is in Stuffed Tomatoes?
We love to fill these stuffed tomatoes with rice and either ground beef or sausage. Sausage has more flavor so it’s usually my first choice. The filling is similar to that of stuffed peppers – only baked into a tomato! We reserve the insides of the tomato and chop them up to cook along with the filling for extra flavor.
Ingredients and Variations
MEAT This recipe is made with ground sausage, but feel free to use hamburger or even ground turkey! If subbing out the sausage, be sure to bump up the seasonings a bit as the sausage has spices and salt. SEASONING This version uses Italian seasoning, but feel free to season with fajita, Cajun seasoning, or even taco seasoning, and add cheddar cheese and jalapenos for a Tex-Mex treat! FILLING Cooked rice is added to the filling but you can use any kind of cooked grain from quinoa to barley. Stuffed tomatoes are a great way to use up leftovers, too! Stir in leftover roasted veggies or extra cheeses!
How to Make Stuffed Tomatoes
Leftovers
Leftover stuffed tomatoes taste even better the next day when all the flavors have had a chance to blend even more! Keep leftovers in a covered container and they’ll last in the refrigerator up to 4 days. To reheat, simply place them in the microwave until heated through. Readjust the seasonings, add extra toppings if desired, and serve!
