Post #33 - February 23rd, 2016, 9:33 amHi,
Would creamy grits or a cheese-garlic grits casserole be good addition?
If not this, then I will look for something else.

why go to all the trouble of frying it in balls? why not just serve it in a casserole like the original dirty rice?? i'm not trying to be critical- they look delicious and i understand you wrote the article, but for a large party, wouldn't it be a helluva lot easier?

Me, too, of course, as they're more fun, party-appropriate finger food, and relatively unknown (I'm guessing) by most guests. Also, I'm enamored of Jezebel sauce, which really doesn't work with the standard casserole format."Don't you ever underestimate the power of a female." Bootsy Collins

i definitely look forward to trying them, and the jezebel sauce sounds really unusual and delicious.
