  • Don't be afraid to adjust the spices: The amount of cayenne pepper and Creole seasoning you use can be adjusted to your taste. If you like a spicy casserole, add more cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder dish, use less.
  • Cook the grits until they are creamy: This will help the casserole hold together better. If the grits are too runny, the casserole will be too loose.
  • Be careful not to overcook the casserole: Once the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted, it is done. Overcooking will make the casserole dry and tough.
  • Serve the casserole immediately: Jambalaya Grits Casserole is best served hot out of the oven. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
