For a richer flavor, consider adding smoked sausage or ham hocks to the pot during the simmering process. Adjust the amount of Creole seasoning and red pepper flakes to your preferred level of spiciness. If you're using frozen chitterlings, make sure they are completely thawed before cooking. Chitterlings are known for their strong smell during cooking. Ensure your kitchen is well-ventilated. These Creole Chitterlings taste even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to meld together. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
