I found this recipe on the Premio website, and it was a hit with my husband and best friend. A little to spicy for the kids, but you can always use mild sasuage.

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 Degrees.
Cut a slice from the top of each tomato.
scoop out insides of tomatoes and mash with hands.
In a skillet, heat butter and sauté onion, garlic and sausage meat until it is brown and crumbly.
Stir in tomato pulp and simmer for ten minutes.
Remove Sausage Mixture from pan, put into a big bowl.
Add bread crumbs, salt, pepper, and cheese, mixing well.
Add as much cheese as you would like.
You may not need all the tomatoe pulp either.
The final mixture should be kind of sticky, but easily formable.
Place tomato shells in a shallow baking dish and fill with sausage mixture.
Bake in for thirty minutes.
I find that the left over sausage mixture can be put in between the tomatoes, just to bake.
I also put grating cheese on top of the tomatoes before baking.
