Ingredients
2 large ripe tomatoes
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, partially drained
½ cup dry bread crumbs
⅔ cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
¼ pound smoked sausage, cut into 1 inch pieces
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Cut the tops off tomatoes and use a knife to cut around the inside, separating the flesh from the skin. Scoop out flesh. Place tomatoes in a small baking dish.
Combine canned tomatoes with bread crumbs, and 1/3 cup of cheese in a small bowl. Stir in sausage; mix well. Spoon the mixture into tomato skins and top with remaining 1/3 cup of cheese.
Bake in preheated oven until tomatoes are warmed through and cheese has melted, about 15 minutes.
