This was a delicious and easy recipe! I made it for a weeknight dinner and it was a hit with my family. The turnips were soft and creamy, and the bacon added a nice smoky flavor. I will definitely be making this again.

This dish was a bit too time-consuming for me. I had to peel and chop the turnips, which took a while. The mash was also a little lumpy, even though I used a potato masher.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less bacon next time. The turnips were also a little undercooked, even though I followed the recipe exactly.

I'm not a big fan of turnips, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The turnips were actually really good, and the bacon and cheese made them even better. I'll definitely be making this again.

Amazing! I made this for a potluck and it was a huge success. Everyone loved it, even the people who don't usually like turnips. The bacon really makes the dish.

This dish was a little bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning, maybe some garlic or rosemary. The turnips were also a little tough, even though I cooked them for the recommended amount of time.
