recipe: stuffed tomatoes

a pretty easy but surprisingly delicious recipe. i'm gonna post it. not my finest work, but when your in a pinch (and hurry) it'll do. and it's a beautiful presentation.

you'll need:
roughly 4 large tomatoes
1 14oz can of diced tomatoes
1/2 cupish shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cupish bread crumbs
1/2 cupish your choice of prepared sausage cubed
(i used a soy sausage we find in the produce section at the grocery store & cook on stove until browned)
opt: chili powder, paprika, & jalapeno pepper

using a paring knife, cut a circle on the top of each tomato. twist the circular top until it easily comes off. use a spoon to discard the tomato innards. mix diced tomatoes, cheese, bread crumbs, sausage and peppers(if using). spoon mixture into each tomato until full. top with a little extra cheddar cheese. bake at 400 degrees f style for 15 min or so. vwala. meal in a tomato.

*if you don't have bread crumbs on hand lightly toast a slice of bread and allow it to cool. stick the toast in the blender. blend.
