I mean, it's not really too powerful? As I said, anyone with a speed of 20-ft can get out of it on their turn. So you'd have to cast grease and make it flammable before the enemy gets their turn, which costs 2 actions. 2 actions for grease + idk what, 1d6 fire in a 10-ft square? Dex ST to negate the fire? Plus I'd probably rule that the grease burns up in 1-2 turns instead of lasting for a minute, so it's really not that powerful. It'd be ~equally as effective to just firebolt the enemy if they didn't fall prone or just attack them with advantage if they did.

Edit: I acknowledge that Jeremy Crawford says grease can't be lit on fire, but to that I refer you to my above image

So you have your gimpy cleric who never lands any of her spell toss the torch out first, and then cast grease on it for an instant fireball, or better yet cast with a torch or even a lowly candle in the area and watch them for up in flames.

Regardless if your preferences, it's 100% not in the actual spell that it's combustible for additional damage, unlike the web spell where it is called out that the webs are flammable, but even they shouldn't all be burned away in a single round
