Stuffed tomatoes
Method more than recipe
Cut the top off several meaty tomatoes and scoop the pulp out. Salt the inside and let drain/desiccate a few minutes while you mix the stuffing
Stuffing
Fresh bread crumbs - about 1TBS per tomato
Lightly blanched broccoli
Mix together wet stuff in a large bowl
1/4 finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
Mayonnaise (2 big spoonfuls)
Smoked paprika
Worcestershire sauce
Dash of hot sauce
Oregano
thumb
It should taste like a mayonnaisey barbecue sauce at this point.
Mix a cup or so of Grated grated cheese of choice into mayonnaise mixture. I use whatever I have - usually cheddar, guyerre, mozzarella, Asiago
Once cheese is mixed in, mix in broccoli and bread crumbs. Fill each tomato with filling and line up in a casserole dish. Let any extra stuffing fall over the sides of the tomatoes.
Bake at 400 until bubbly, 25 min or so. Excellent with grilled meat for a fast prep meal.

Love this! I think I need to start showing my husband your videos so he realizes that I'm pretty tame in terms of starting seeds (I only did 6 varieties of tomatoes this year since I wanted to use up old seed. I had issues with my (older) seed sprouting so I ended up using the paper towel/baggie method to help jump start a second round and that really helped. I'm sticking with mostly cherry type tomatoes (Black, Indigo, Sunchocola, etc) since my kids hate waiting for the bigger ones to ripen and usually the smaller tomatoes do better in our humidity/wild weather. I can't wait to see how these do for you so I can add some new ones to my list next year!

I have 5 varieties but I am also a patio gardener so this will be interesting lol. Dr. Wyches was the first variety I grew when I started gardening. It is a very good tomato. Low acidity very sweet and excellent eaten raw. And this is coming from a previous tomato hater! Once I grew them at home my world changed. I have black beauty as one of my varieties this year. I also have Barryscrazy cherry, Brad's atomic grape, Berkeley tie dye, and get stuffed tomato. I can't wait till I can plant them out.

Thank you. I really enjoyed this. I love tomatoesandI really suck at growing them. It seems to be some different problem each year. Last year - blossom end rot. I know being a gardener (I have a very small garden) means one has hope but my hope with tomatoes is waning. As well, wondering about a cucumber plant that was grown last year. I believe it was a small dwarf variety but was hugely prolific. Could you possibly let me know what that plant was?

The best tomato supports are cattle panels. The wire is stiff and spaced perfectly to support the plants and still be able to reach through to pick the fruit. I weave the stems through as the plants grow. It takes a couple of minutes to walk through and do this 4-5 times a week. I use this method for all types and prune indeterminate varieties to 2 or 3 main stems. I'm using them in raised beds but they will work great for plants in the ground too.

Gosh I cant wait until this growing season. I remember growing up eating tomatoes right from the garden like they were apples. I still eat them until my mouth is sore from the acid. Im going to try the spoon tomatoes, I think the kids will love them. We also grew strawberry corn and glass gem corn and they loved that. We still have popcorn a year later and it provided treats for some of our pets.

I have never been good at growing tomatoes from seeds. They start off good but will die along the way. 2 years ago I buried a store bought tomato that went bad and it grew into a huge tomato plant that grew an abundance of tomatoes. I tried it again last year and it worked again. This Year I have got a few tomato seeds to try my hand at growing tomatoes I just hope it works out.

Not sure I should admit this as my Italian husband shudders when I do this. It's possibly an Acadian thing from my Mom's heritage, but. well I love tomatoes as a dessert - freshly sliced, lightly dusted with sugar - a must have summer treat imo. my poor Italian husband. Lol. what variety would you recommend as a dessert tomato?

Wow, that's a lot of varieties. I'm planting 14 varieties; may add a few more before we start. Here in NH we'll start tomato seeds in greenhouse around 3/26th. I keep at least 2-3 of each variety (I never keep just one - don't want to take the chance of something happening to that one tomato. Two is one; one is none
