Cheesy Beef Stuffed Tomatoes

Ingredients

2 tbsp. olive oil
1 small onion
salt
Pepper
3 tbsp. fresh thyme leaves
1 clove garlic
500 grams minced meat
6 large tomatoes
3 oz. Cheddar or mozzarella cheese
Garden Salad as you like it
Directions
  1. Heat the over heat resistance pan and position the rack 6 inches below the heat source. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, season with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and beginning to turn golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the thyme and garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  3. Add the mince, season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the wine and simmer, stirring occasionally, until nearly evaporated, 3 minutes.
  4. While the onions are cooking, using a sharp knife and working on an angle, remove the tomato stem, leaving a 2-inch-wide opening in the tomato. With a spoon, scoop out most of the seeds and pulp (without breaking the skin). Transfer the tomatoes to the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Divide the meat mixture among the tomatoes (about 1/2 cup each) and top with the cheese (about 2 tablespoons each). Broil until the cheese melts and is beginning to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with a salad, if desired.
