We really enjoyed these stuffed tomatoes. I had Italian Seasoned bread crumbs so I used those. All the flavors worked together well and the additon of chopped onions gave it a nice crunch. Instead of cutting tomatoes in half I sliced a top of the top, scooped out insides and filled with mixture.

Perfect side dish! Wonderful use of my Summer bounty of tomatoes! Easy to make, great as made, flexible with minor changes and "Always Great Tasting"! DH & I can't ask for more. I've made a number of times this Summer and will have again tonight. I usually slice the top off, scoop out the insides add some of that to the filling. It gives the filling some tomato flavor and softness. I have used plain bread crumbs, Italian flavored crumbs and herb dressing. All great, when seasoning is adjusted. I've even added 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella to the filling and sprinkled some on top before baking. We "loved" them each and every time. Thank you so much for giving us a "Forever Favorite". :)

Very good. I had some stuffing mix so I used that in place of the seasoned breadcrumbs, topped with parmesan. They were delicious and didn't last long! Thanks for posting!

Very yummy!! I made this as one of the side dishes to roast chicken, as I have so many tomatoes in the garden. All I did not have, can you believe, was fresh parsley. An easy, delicious recipe.
