Baked Stuffed Papayas - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 medium onion, chopped
    1 garlic clove, finely chopped
    1 lb ground beef
    1 (16 ounce) can whole tomatoes, drained
    1 jalapeno chile, finely chopped
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
    4 (12 ounce) papayas
    2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
Preparation
    Cook and stir beef, onion, and garlic in 10-inch skillet over medium heat until beef is light brown.
    Drain; stir in tomatoes, jalapeno pepper, salt and pepper.
    Break up tomatoes with fork. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered, until most of the liquid is evaporated, about 10 minutes.
    Cut papayas lengthwise into halves and remove seeds.
    Place about 1/3 cup beef mixture in each papaya half. Sprinkle with cheese. Arrange in shallow roasting pan.
    Pour very hot water into pan to within 1 inch of tops of papaya halves.
    Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees until papayas are very tender and hot, about 30 minutes.
