Stuffed Tomatoes

When I was in school we made a similar recipe and after trying out the original recipe, there were things that I believed would make the dish better. So over the next couple months, I recreated the dish a couple times, trying something new until I landed on this recipe. The filling can be made ahead of time and the tomatoes don't take long to heat up once they are filled.
