Ingredients

  • 2 packages of Uncle Ben's Ready Rice (any flavor--we picked Butter Garlic and Spanish)
  • 2 cups mini Broccoli florets (fresh or frozen and thawed)
  • 8 ripe tomatoes on the vine
  • 1 cup shredded marbled cheddar cheese (more or less to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Cook the rice according to the package instructions. ( Open a small slit at the top and microwave for 90 seconds). Let the rice cool for 5 mins before opening the bag fully.
  3. Slice each tomato top and use a knife to gently break down the membranes on the inside of the tomato corners. Then use a spoon and gently scoop out the flesh and any juices, leaving the tomato still intact to look like a cup. Repeat with the remaining tomatoes and arrange them in an oven safe bakeware.
  4. Pour the rice bags in a bowl and add the broccoli florets to them, then use a large spoon and scoop out the rice to fill the tomato cups evenly.
  5. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the rice-filled tomatoes and place the tomato caps over them. Bake the tomatoes for 12-15 mins until cheese is bubbly and tomatoes are slightly tender.
  6. Wait for 5 minutes for the cheese and tomatoes to cool down a bit and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

  • Use any kind of ready-made seasoned rice or cook the rice yourself
  • If cooking your own rice, make sure to season it with butter, garlic, and salt.
