een (sweet) peppers
minced onion
3 or 4 pork sausages
2 cups bread crumbs
1 teaspoon or tablespoon of minced parsley
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon melted butter

Boil the sausages ten minutes, then skin and chop fine. Hollow your
tomatoes using about 1/2 cup of the solid parts, chopping fine. Mix all
thoroughly then heap into the tomato shells. Put large tablespoon butter
in baking pan and bake about 20 minutes in hot oven.

Green peppers and sausages can be omitted if so preferred.

This stuffed tomato served with bread and butter can be used as a first
course instead of bouillon and also can be used as a substitute for
meat.

Baked Tomatoes

8 large smooth tomatoes
2 green peppers
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 pints milk
1 good sized onion
1 1/2 T. sugar
flour

Wash tomatoes, do not peel, slice piece from top of each and scoop out a
little of the tomato. Cut peppers in two lengthwise and remove
seeds--place in cold water.

Now put onion and peppers through meat chopper, sprinkle a little sugar
and a little salt over each tomato and place in good sized baking dish;
now put ground onion and ground peppers on top of tomato.

Put butter in skillet and when melted, not brown, stir in flour until a
paste is formed, now add gradually the milk as you would for cream
dressing, stir constantly.

The dressing must be very thick to allow for the water from the
tomatoes. Put this sauce around the tomatoes, not on top and place in a
moderate oven to bake about one hour slow. Serve if possible in the same
dish in which it was baked as it is very attractive.
