Do you add DRY stuffing to the tomatoes?? I’m making this tonight and NEED to know. Or do you make the stuffing according to the package?

This has been a tried and true one for my family for a decade. It also works well with the low sodium stuffing, and is not bad with the gluten free one either! It makes the house smell amazing, and never flops!
