I had some tomatoes that I was needing to use before they went bad. This recipe was a lifesaver. Since I had found some ground pork on markdown at Kroger, I was needing to use it as well. Unfortunatly one pound of meat is not enough meat to feed my large family. What was a girl to do? Yup, combine both and make a larger meal. PERFECT!
The pork flavors combined with the tomatoes, peppers, and onions made for one over the top delicious dish. We will be making these quite often this summer. The hubby and the kiddos loved them and so will you. I was worried the kids would not like them. I picked the onions out of a few of them for the boys and they devoured them like their favorite pizza, ha ha.
