** There are so many variations that can be used with this recipe. You may want to use ground veal or turkey. If you like, you could also add the removed tomato pulp into your meat mixture. You may also want to add different herbs or spices. Also, you may want to discard tomato top, and top each tomato with shredded or sliced mozzarella cheese. (The cheese might need to be added later in the baking process so it does not burn.)
