Quick and Easy 30 Minute Dinner – Vegan Stuffed Tomatoes

Have you ever have a stuffed tomato?⁠

Growing up I was never a tomato person. I thought they were icky! Then my mom started making us baked tomatoes and I learnt that I love cooked, warm tomatoes. She used to make us the Susan Summers roast tomatoes.

As I have gotten older I realized that there are so many AMAZING things we can do with tomatoes, so I often keep a few in the fridge.
⁠
On my waste free/sweep the fridge journey I decided to make myself a stuffed tomato. It was super easy, cheesy and delicious. ⁠
⁠
Ingredients⁠

1. 1 tomato per serving ⁠
2. Mexican Ground Round (I use Yves – it makes 6 tomatoes)⁠
3. Taco Seasoning⁠
4. Vegan cheese (1/8th cup per tomato) ⁠
5. 1/8 red onion per tomato (or onion of your choice) ⁠
   ⁠
   Directions ⁠
6. Cut off the top of the tomato and hollow it out⁠
7. Chop up the red onion into small pieces. Sauteed in pan sprayed with 2 sprays of oil. ⁠
8. Add in taco seasoning and the diced tomato insides. ⁠
9. Add in the ground round and saute until cooked through. ⁠
10. Remove from heat and stir in vegan cheese. ⁠
11. Scoop filling into tomato and bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until tomato is tender. ⁠
    ⁠
    ENJOY! ⁠
