Directions:
- Prepare the Bell Peppers
Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds. After washing them, parboil the peppers for about 10 minutes in a pot of salted water. This softens them, getting them ready for the flavorful stuffing. - Sauté the Veggies
In a skillet, melt the butter and sauté the onions, chopped bell pepper, and celery for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and The Best Stop Cajun Seasoning, and cook for another minute until the veggies are tender and aromatic. - Mix in the Crawfish Boudin
Remove the crawfish boudin from its casing and mix it into the veggie mixture. Stir everything together, warming the boudin and blending it well with the sautéed vegetables. - Add Bread Crumbs
Stir in the seasoned bread crumbs, mixing until the stuffing is incorporated and heated throughout. This adds texture and helps bind the mixture together. - Stuff the Peppers
Carefully spoon the crawfish boudin mixture into each parboiled bell pepper, packing it in tightly. Place the stuffed peppers in a shallow baking dish. - Bake:
Add a little water to the bottom of the baking dish to help steam the peppers. Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes, allowing the peppers to soften and the filling to set.
