A simple and flavorful way to enjoy tomatoes, stuffed with seasoned cracker crumbs and baked to perfection.

Ingredients

6 Medium-sized tomatoes (Smooth, ripe tomatoes are best.)
0.5 cup Cracker crumbs (Use your favorite crackers, finely crushed.)
0.25 tsp Salt (To taste)
0.125 tsp Black pepper (Freshly ground, to taste)
0.25 tsp Onion juice (A few drops, or substitute with onion powder.)
2 tbsp Butter (Divided, melted)

Instructions

1Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Wipe the tomatoes clean. Remove a thin slice from the stem end of each tomato. Carefully scoop out the seeds and pulp, and drain off most of the liquid. Be careful not to puncture the tomato skin.
2In a bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, salt, pepper, and onion juice. Mix well. Add 1 tablespoon of melted butter to the crumb mixture and stir to combine.
3Refill the tomatoes with the cracker crumb mixture. Place the filled tomatoes in a buttered baking pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of melted butter over the tops of the tomatoes. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender and the topping is golden brown.
