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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Set the peppers upright in a baking dish.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Spoon the boudin mixture into each bell pepper, filling them generously. Place the filled peppers in the baking dish.

Step 7

Top each pepper with shredded cheddar cheese, pressing lightly so it adheres to the filling.

Step 8

Bake the peppers in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the peppers are tender.

Step 9

Remove the peppers from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your Boudin Stuffed Bell Peppers!
