This dish was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I would have liked it better with less cheese.

I thought this dish was just okay. The cauliflower was a bit bland and the cheese sauce was too heavy.

I'm not a big fan of cauliflower, but this dish was surprisingly good! The cheese and bacon really made it.
