Expert Tips

One and one-half cups of canned diced tomatoes can be used in place of the fresh chopped tomatoes. Drain them well.

Bring the mixture to a boil as directed in the recipe. Spoon mixture into a microwave-safe casserole. Cover and microwave on HIGH for 2 to 3 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed. Uncover and top with tomato slices and cheese; microwave on HIGH for 1 to 2 minutes, or until cheese melts.

To make Cheesy Beef Stuffed Baked Tomatoes, prepare the recipe but do not top it with tomato and cheese. Spoon the baked mixture into 8 large hollowed-out tomatoes. Arrange the stuffed tomatoes in a shallow baking dish and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Bake at 400 °F. for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the tomatoes are hot and the cheese melts.

I would not make this recipe again...period!!! It was lacking flavor, not enough veggies and I threw out the leftovers! Was very disappointed in this recipe as it looked promising. Good luck in getting the dough up 1/2 inch up the side of the 9 X 13 pan. I think I would work on having a nice hamburger & forgetting I ever tried this recipe!!!

This is one of my top favorite recipes! It is delicious..and being a 22 year old college student, it's pocket friendly too, lol. I double the beef (and i use turkey meat/or turkey "beef" instead), i do this because 1 and 1/2 cups of rice, may not seem like a lot, but once it cooks it turns into a very good amount, so if you use just 1 lb of beef it may not seem like enough with all the rice. i doubled up on all the seasonings too!
