Cajun Eggplant Casserole image

Many years ago I had a wonderful, spicy eggplant dish at a buffet deep in the bayous of Louisiana. It was so different and flavorful that I just had to duplicate that recipe! Here it is and it is my own creation.

I had to make a few substitutions because I didn't have all the ingredients, but the casserole still turned out great.

Scrumptious! This casserole turned out to be even better than I imagined. The eggplant was perfectly cooked, and the sauce had just the right amount of heat and spice.
