How to Make Cajun Stuffed Tomatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut off the stem end of each tomato and scoop out the pulp, leaving 1/4-inch thick shells.
  3. Turn tomatoes upside down on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess moisture for about 10 minutes.
  4. While tomatoes are draining, heat a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add 1 pound of your favorite Cajun sausage, and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Add 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper, 1/2 cup chopped celery, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon dried thyme to the skillet.
  7. Cook and stir until vegetables are tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in 2 large eggs, beating lightly with a fork before adding.
  9. Season the sausage and vegetable mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Spoon the meat mixture into the reserved tomato shells.
  11. Place the stuffed tomatoes in a shallow baking pan and add 1/2 inch of water to the bottom of the pan.
  12. Cover the baking pan with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until tomatoes are tender.
  13. Remove foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the filling is heated through and slightly browned on top.
