How to cook deliciously - Rice and Beef Stuffed Tomatoes

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

2. Stage

Cut tops off of tomatoes; set aside tops. Scoop out pulp into a bowl and place hollowed tomatoes into the prepared baking dish.

3. Stage

Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in instant rice. Cover and let stand until water is absorbed, about 5 minutes.

4. Stage

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Mix cooked rice, onion, garlic, garlic salt, and black pepper into ground beef; stir in tomato sauce and reserved tomato pulp. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until thickened, 10 minutes.

5. Stage

Fill each hollowed tomato with ground beef mixture. Cover each filled tomato with a tomato top. Pour tomato juice over filled tomatoes for extra juiciness.

6. Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until tomatoes are tender and filling is hot, about 20 minutes.
