Stuffed Tomatoes

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. 2
   Coat cooking pan large enough to hold tomatoes with cooking spray (or use cupcake baking cups to hold tomatoes in pan).
3. 3
   Slice top off tomatoes large enough to remove inside (about top third or less. You want to be able to fill the tomato easily).
4. 4
   Remove inside of tomato with spoon or melon baller. I find a grapefruit spoon with serrated edges works well for this.
5. 5
   Arrange tomatoes in pan secured in baking cups if using; set aside.
6. 6
   In a large skillet over medium heat brown sausage, stirring to crumble (about 5 mins).
7. 7
   Add butter, onion, celery and garlic and continue cooking until onion softens, stirring occasionally (3-5 mins).
8. 8
   Add rosemary, oregano and bread. Cook and stir 2 more minutes.
9. 9
   Add in chicken broth, mozzarella cheese and season with salt and pepper.
10. 10
    Fill tomatoes with sausage mixture.
11. 11
    Bake for about 20 minutes, or until tops are browning and tomatoes are softened.
12. 12
    Sprinkle with grated Parmesan Cheese and cook another 5 minutes, or until cheese has melted.
