So yummy!!! Tasted a lot like the ones we had in Greece. I used ground beef instead of lamb and was still very good. Also they only need 20-30 min baking time. Just until the tomatos are soft, once they started cracking they fell apart when I tried to serve them. One stayed perfect so I think I cooked them just a little too long. Also since everone said the rice was hard I cooked it first and it was perfect. And you don't need a full cup of water in the pan just enough to cover it. I also used feta instead and sprinkled bread crumbs on top. Delicious.

This is by far the closet stuffed tomato recipe to the ones you would find in a Greek Restaurant. I replaced the lamb for ground round beef. Also, I used feta cheese which turned out great. I used more meat and beef than the recipe called for. It did turn out a little watery. Maybe bread crumbs will work. Also, they do not need the full hour the recipe calls for. This is a great recipe!

My family loved this recipe! I couldn't find kasseri cheese, so I used feta for the tops, and it worked very well. These reheat well, so I made a double batch last time.

I loved the flavors and so did my boyfriend. I made it with ground turkey instead of ground lamb, and brown rice instead of white. The flavors were incredible. I loved the dill and the pine nuts. BUT, the rice was hardly cooked at all. Next time I make it I'll precook the rice most of the way. Also, I would use far less water in the bottom of the pan, as the water seemed to cause the tomatoes to fall apart.

Just so so. Didn't have enough kick for me. Rice was not completely done (probably my oven's problem, not the recipe. The tomatoes fell apart while cooking. Won't make this one again.

This came out very tasty, but I would make one tweak. Next time I think I am going to add some bread crumbs to the lamb stuffing. The stuffing was a little too soupy once cooked -- I think that adding some bread crumbs would lend some solidity to the lamb/tomato mixture. But regardless, the dishy was really delicious and I can't wait to cook it again.

I love stuffed veggies...like tomatoes, peppers, cabbage (rolls, zucchini, eggplant, etc.
And, I love stuffing them with different meats (tuna, burger, lamb, shrimp, pork, etc & grains (rice, risotto, couscous, quinoa, bulgar wheat, etc.
Not to mention - the addition of different (& combo of spices & herbs - for Greek, Italian, Hungarian, Asian, Persian, Cajun, Jamician, etc, etc.
Be Adventurous! Imagine, Create,
Experiment, & Enjoy!!!

This recipe is easy to follow. I like the way the stuffed tomatoes present themselves before guests because they look colorful and professional.
