Deliciously Stuffed Bell Peppers 
Ingredients:
5 bell peppers, halved and cleaned
1.5 lbs ground beef
1 hot sausage patty (Patton’s if you’ve got it!)
1 lb shrimp, peeled and chopped
1 container of crab meat
1 can chicken broth
(Optional: diced ham or sausage—your choice for extra flavor!)
½ an onion, finely chopped
½ a bell pepper or a stalk of celery, chopped
1 tbsp minced garlic
1½ sticks of butter
½ bag of bread crumbs
1 tbsp Slap Ya Mama seasoning (or your favorite Cajun spice)
Let’s Get Cooking!
1. Prep the Peppers: Cut your bell peppers in half, scoop out the seeds, and set them aside. Think of them as little edible bowls ready to hold all that goodness!
2. Sauté the Magic: In a big pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Toss in your chopped onions, celery (or bell pepper), and garlic. Sauté until your kitchen smells heavenly, and the onions turn translucent.
3. Bring on the Protein Party: Add the ground beef, hot sausage, shrimp, crab meat, and any optional diced ham or sausage. Season with Slap Ya Mama and stir everything together until the meat is browned and the seafood is cooked to perfection.
4. Make It Mushy (In a Good Way): Gradually stir in bread crumbs and chicken broth until the mixture reaches a thick, oatmeal-like consistency. Keep stirring to ensure it’s all well-blended and packed with flavor.
5. Stuff & Sprinkle: Scoop generous amounts of the mixture into each bell pepper half. If you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle a bit of Italian bread crumbs on top for a golden, crispy finish.
6. Bake to Perfection: Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish, cover them with foil, and bake at 350°F for about 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil, lower the heat to 300°F, and bake uncovered for another 15 minutes.
Serve & Enjoy
These stuffed peppers are loaded with flavor and sure to be a hit at any table. Serve them hot, and watch them disappear!
