With flour and oil make your roux to start the stew. Or you can buy roux in a jar if you don't know how to make a roux. I never measure when I make a roux from scratch so I'm sorry I can't give you exact measurements on the flour and oil

If using flour and oil once your roux looks a bit darker then peanut butter add water and let boil like you would when you make any stew

For the ground meat, mix in 1/2 lbs of chopped crawfish tails. It is easier to chop crawfish if you chop them while they are frozen ( DO NOT CHOP THE OTHER 1 1/2 lbs of crawfish) salt, pepper, grated parmesan cheese( I use the cheese to replace bread crumbs) parsley, and garlic

In hollowed out and seeds cleaned out from the inside of bell peppers take a tooth pick and punch holes in the bottom of the peppers

Fill the bell peppers with the ground meat

With the rest of the meat mixture make med size meatballs

Add in stew onions, salt, pepper, garlic powder, parsley, shallots, your favorite seasonings, 1 1/2 pounds of whole crawfish tails, meatballs, and stuffed peppers

Let stew simmer and once peppers are tender all other ingredients will be completely cooked

Several times you will need to skim the grease from the top of the stew

If stew looks too light in color just pour a few drops of kitchen bouquet
