WORD ON THE DOCK

And just like that, HR&G has wrapped up another week of fishing on the shores of Calcasieu Lake!
Hackberry Rod and Gun hosted the Quanta group over the weekend for their annual two-day fishing tournament, so a big thank you to all of those who came out! (Tournament results posted below). Over this past week, we had several trout caught in the 4-5 pound range and Saturday was the most slot reds we’ve seen hit the dock all month!  Many of the fish were caught on a Down South lure on a jig head and topwater lures early in the morning. Some boats found themselves cast netting finger mullet first thing in the morning, which has put some better trout and redfish in the boat as well. Overall, it was a great week here in Hackberry, and don’t forget, “Ya shoulda been here yesterday!”

FISHING FACT

Baitfish are small, schooling species that serve as a critical link in the food chain. They are highly nutritious and serve as the primary energy source for many saltwater fish, including speckled trout and redfish.

We have some boats available so call Tanya at (888) 762-3391 and come see what the Hackberry Rod & Gun Club is all about!

This Week’s Yummy Recipe

 

 

CAJUN STUFFED BELL PEPPERS

Prep time: 20 mins 

Cook time: 40 mins 
Total time: 1 hour 
Serves: 4

Ingredients: 

  • 4 large bell peppers (any color) 
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil 
  • 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey 
  • 1/2 pound Andouille sausage, diced 
  • 1 small onion, chopped 
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced 
  • 1 cup cooked rice 
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes 
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning 
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika 
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme 
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for extra heat) 
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese 
  • Salt and pepper to taste 

 

Instructions: 

Prepare the Peppers: 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). 
  2. Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds. 
  3. Lightly rub the peppers with olive oil and place them in a baking dish. Set aside. 

Make the Filling: 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef (or turkey) and sausage. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. 
  2. Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 3 minutes. 
  3. Stir in the diced tomatoes, cooked rice, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, thyme, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. 
  4. Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes to combine the flavors. 

Stuff the Peppers: 

  1. Stuff the bell peppers with the meat and rice mixture, pressing down slightly to pack it in. 
  2. Top each stuffed pepper with a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese. 

Bake: 

  1. Place the stuffed peppers in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly. 

Serve: 

  1. Let the peppers cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve with a side salad or cornbread for a complete meal.
