Baked tomatoes?! Seriously who eats that? I prefer my tomatoes in a salad.
Did anyone else find it bland? I added hot sauce but still didn’t help much.
Never thought tomatoes could be so good! 10/10 would recommend to a friend.
This recipe is so easy! Perfect for a quick meal. I added some ground beef for extra protein.
I dunno, my rice got mushy. Maybe I overcooked it? Didn’t love it.
Wasn’t a fan of the herbs, too much greenery for me. I just like plain rice. lol.
I’m not a big fan of tomatoes, but my husband loved these. Must be nice to like healthy food!
It’s great to hear your husband enjoyed it! You could swap the tomatoes for bell peppers if you’re not a fan. They’re healthy too!
These were DELICIOUS! My family loved them and they’re healthy too! Definitely a keeper.
This dish was a hit at dinner! The tomatoes were so juicy and flavorful. Will make again!
It’s simple but filling. Makes me feel like I’m eating fancy food without spending too much.
I loved it! The herbs gave it such a fresh taste, felt like I was in Italy or something.
I made these for dinner, and while they looked nice, the taste was kinda bland. Needs more spices!
Easier than it seems! I threw in some leftover veggies too, tasted great. 🙂
What if I replace the cheese with avocado? Is that a good idea? Asking for a friend.
Okay, but can someone tell me why my cheese didn’t melt? Did I do something wrong?
This recipe is SO good! I used brown rice instead of white, still yum!
Lol, I thought I was making stuffed peppers. I guess this works too. Taste was meh.
Yummy! But maybe too cheesy. I couldn’t taste the tomatoes enough.
