Oven Roasted Stuffed Tomatoes
This is one of those recipes that I have been contemplating how to best describe how delicious it is to you. I wish I could tell you how incredible this recipe really is. It has quickly become one of my favorite meals. I am IN LOVE with them. They are packed and “stuffed” with such incredible flavor! The tomato is cooked perfectly and is so juicy.
My sister, who can be quite the picky eater, dubbed this to be one of her favorite dinners. If you have some big tomatoes that you need to find a recipe for, give this one a try! Your whole family will go crazy for them!

This sounds absolutely delicious and I love how it's bursting at the seams with all that filling!! I'm veggie so I'd leave out the bacon - maybe some chopped black olives instead? :)

Just made these tonight and they were a hit! Even my 2 year old gave his signature nod of approval with a "yum!" The only thing I would personally change is putting in less thyme. I personally found the thyme to be a bit strong, but overall LOVED the dish!
