Notes
Use a small tomato, just as written in the ground beef ingredients. If you use larger or more tomatoes to add to the beef, the beef will become watery during baking and will not taste as perfect as we would like.
Bake in a controlled manner, as the baking time will vary according to each oven. Bake until the meat absorbs the water it has.
If the meat still looks raw at the end of the time, add a little more water and bake for a while.
