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 thought this casserole was just okay. The eggplant was a bit tough and the sauce was a bit bland. I wouldn't make it again.

This casserole was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The eggplant was cooked well and the sauce was flavorful. I would make it again, but I would use less cayenne pepper next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my casserole turned out dry and bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor.

This casserole was easy to make and turned out great! The eggplant was soft and flavorful, and the sauce was creamy and cheesy. I served it with a side of rice and it was a perfect meal.

I'm not usually a fan of eggplant, but this casserole changed my mind. The eggplant was tender and flavorful, and the sauce was rich and creamy. I'll definitely be making this again.
