STUFFED TOMATOES 
6 lg. tomatoes
1 lb. ground beef
1/3 c. chopped onion
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
Dash black pepper
1/2 c. water
1/2 c. long-grain rice
4 oz. sharp process American cheese, shredded

Cut off tops of tomatoes, scoop out (and reserve) "meat". Salt the inside of the tomatoes lightly and invert to drain while you prepare the stuffing.

Cook ground beef and onion until meat is lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper. Add 2 cups of reserved tomato meat, diced, and 1/2 cup water, the rice and Worcestershire sauce.

Cover and simmer until rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Stir the cheese. Spoon mixture into tomato cups and stand upright in a 10x6x1 1/2 inch baking dish. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
