SAUSAGE
STUFFED TOMATOES
This recipe sounds hard, but it’s incredibly easy, and
makes you think you’re eating at a 5 star restaurant.
Also, these are so good if you dip your bites in your favorite
low carb sweet and sour or sweet type of sauce.?
1 lb sausage
(I’m a wimp, so I use mild sausage, you can use hot
if you like some spice)
4 oz chive or vegetable flavored cream cheese
4 large yellow or orange tomatoes that are very firm
1 medium onion chopped
4 oz mozzarella cheese (slices)
Preheat
oven to 350. Brown sausage and onions together. (best for
clean up to use a non-stick pan) While that’s cooking,
cut the tops off the tomatoes, and spoon out the middle of
them like you would a pumpkin at Halloween. Once sausage and
onions are cooked, drain fat, and return to pan. Mix cream
cheese into sausage….once sausage and cheese mixture
is well mixed together, spoon the mixture into the middle
of the tomatoes, and place the slices of mozzarella over top
of them, and bake in the oven until cheese is melted to a
golden brown (don’t overcook, or your tomatoes will
be mushy) I usually leave mine in there about 10-15 minutes
?)
