Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 large tomatoes
salt to taste
1 pound ground beef
½ cup bread crumbs
1 pinch herbes de Provence, or to taste
1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste
ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Slice tops off the tomatoes and reserve. Scoop out the pulp with a spoon and place, with juices, in a bowl.
  • Sprinkle some salt into each tomato and set upside down in a casserole dish to drain excess juice. Chop tomato flesh into smaller pieces and place in the casserole dish.
  • Combine ground beef, bread crumbs, herbes de Provence, garlic powder, and black pepper in the bowl; mix together with your hands. Turn tomatoes over and stuff them with beef mixture so that a small amount rises over the top. Cover with reserved tops.
  • Roll up any leftover beef mixture into small bowls and place in the casserole dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tomatoes are tender and beef is cooked through, 40 to 45 minutes.

The tomatoes were a bit too soft for my liking. I think I would cook them for a shorter amount of time next time.
