Like all things with that color combo, this was a terrible tomato in my garden.
I am not a huge fan of stuffers but these were very nasty.
Almost bitter, I have planted other ones with the same results.
They are also very late.
The taste gets a little better when they are cooked, but not enough for me to plant again.
Stripped Cavern was the same disappointment.

Darth
These are great tomatoes when stuffed and baked Down Under.
If they are horrible for you where you are then you might need to vent to Tom Wagner, who I presume bred these varieties.

I worked for an Austrian chef who loved serving a baked tomato with bread stuffing in it. He actually started to shake (with joy) when a local grower brought him some stuffers. I wasn't impressed then and on my trial of said neeto tomatoes; I've not been impressed with the result from my own garden.
I'm taking this long way round to make the case for preserving tomatoes that don't pass our muster. My example is one of two people preparing the same fruit, the same way with two very different reactions.
I have to agree with Darth though, no stuffer I've tried so far floated my boat. I just got beat up onna 'nother chat for puffing Burpees Long Keeper tomato. Who is right? I'll suspect we both are...

Green Bell Pepper was actually quite nice for me. Was it all that tasty? No, but it looked great on a plate stuffed with other tomatoes ;D
And I had no complains regarding production, so it is still on my growing list...
