INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup long-grain rice 1/2 pound hamburger 1 yellow onion, peeled and chopped
6 tomatoes 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon allspice
salt and pepper to taste



1 Cook the rice, and set aside.
2 Brown the hamburger along with the onion. Allow to cool.
3 Core the tomatoes so that they can be stuffed. Use a very sharp knife, and cut a circle about 2 inches in diameter around the stem point. With a spoon remove the center pulp (save pulp for soup).
4 Mix the hamburger and onions with the cinnamon, allspice, salt, pepper, and rice. Fill each of the tomato cups with the filling, leaving a bit on the top. Do not pack down. Bake at 350 F. for 15 to 20 minutes.
