Overall, these stuffed tomatoes were a good dish. I would make them again, but I would make a few changes to the recipe.

The filling was a bit too salty for my taste. I would use less salt next time.

The tomatoes were a bit undercooked for my liking. I would cook them for a few minutes longer next time.

These stuffed tomatoes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more seasoning to the filling next time.
