Cajun Eggplant Casserole
This is similar to the way I ate eggplant as a child in Louisiana. I have modified it to use roasted eggplant, which is so quick and easy to cook. You can change the proportions to make the amount you want.
Ingredients
- 2 med or large eggplant, roasted and cooled
- 1 or more cup chopped onion
- 1 or more cup chopped peppers ( hot or sweet)
- 2 or 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 reg. can Cream of Mushroom or Celery Soup
- 1/4 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp cayenne (or to taste)
- 1 cup plain bread crumbs
Instructions
- 1Scoop out flesh of eggplant and chop coarsely. Set aside.
- 2Heat oil in large skillet and saute onion and peppers until soft.
- 3Add eggplant and stir well to keep from sticking. Saute a few minutes and then add condensed soup, 1/4 cup water, salt and pepper. Mix well and remove from heat. Taste and adjust seasonings.
- 4Add just enough bread crumbs to form soft mixture. Butter a casserole, add mixture, then top with extra crumbs. Bake at 325 degrees until lightly browned and heated through.
- 5I you should wish for a meat dish, you could add browned ground beef in step 3. My family likes it either way.
