Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bell peppers (any color)
- 2 links Boudin sausages
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 small Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Set the peppers upright in a baking dish.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another 1 minute.
Remove the boudin from its casing and add it to the skillet. Use a spoon to break it apart as it cooks, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the breadcrumbs, chicken broth, hot sauce (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the mixture is evenly combined and moist but not soggy.
Spoon the boudin mixture into each bell pepper, filling them generously. Place the filled peppers in the baking dish.
Top each pepper with shredded cheddar cheese, pressing lightly so it adheres to the filling.
Bake the peppers in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the peppers are tender.
Remove the peppers from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Boudin Stuffed Bell Peppers!
