Served with crusty French bread, this makes a great summer meal. My husband and our two daughters ask me to fix it for them frequently. Besides cooking, I enjoy antiques, crafts and getting out in the garden. -Michele Shank, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

I'm allergic to tomatoes. Is there a way to make this recipe without them?

I'm thinking of making this dish for my next dinner party. Do you think it would be better to use fresh or canned tomatoes?

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my tomatoes turned out mushy. I guess I'll have to try again.

These tomatoes were delicious! I made them for a potluck and they were a huge hit. Everyone loved them.

Not a fan of this recipe. The tomatoes were bland and the stuffing was dry. I think I'll stick to my regular stuffed pepper recipe.

I've made this recipe a few times now and it's always a winner. The tomatoes are so flavorful and juicy, and the stuffing is savory and satisfying. I love that it's a relatively easy dish to make too.

These stuffed tomatoes were a hit at our dinner party! The combination of flavors was amazing, and the tomatoes were cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this dish again.
