This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.

This casserole was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add some extra milk or cream next time.

This casserole was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use milder peppers.
