Ingredients
-
- 1 pound boudin sausage, casings removed (see substitution note below)
-
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
-
- 1 cup sour cream
-
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, with a little extra for topping
-
- 1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
-
- 1/2 cup diced onion
-
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
-
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely diced (optional)
-
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste)
-
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
-
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
-
- Tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced baguette for dipping
Instructions
Remove the boudin from its casing by slicing lengthwise and squeezing the filling out. Break it up into small crumbles and set aside. If your boudin is already very seasoned, you might want to reduce the additional Cajun seasoning later.
Olivia’s Tip: Boudin can be sticky! I find it easier to work with if my hands are slightly damp or if I use a fork to break up the filling.
In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté diced onion and bell pepper for about 5 minutes, or until they’re soft and fragrant. Add the garlic and jalapeño (if using) and cook for another minute until fragrant. Your kitchen should start smelling absolutely heavenly at this point!
Add the crumbled boudin to the vegetable mixture and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. The boudin should be heated through and starting to brown slightly. This step helps develop those deep, rich flavors that make this recipe for boudin dip so special.
Reduce heat to low. Add the cream cheese in chunks and stir until it begins to melt. Then add the sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and Cajun seasoning. Stir until everything is well combined and the cheese is completely melted.
Olivia’s Note: This is where I taste and adjust the seasoning. Remember, the boudin already has flavor, so go easy on the extra Cajun seasoning at first—you can always add more!
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Transfer the mixture to a 2-quart baking dish and sprinkle additional cheddar cheese on top. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the dip is hot and bubbly and the cheese on top is melted and starting to brown.
Sprinkle sliced green onions over the top and serve while hot with tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced baguette.
