Dutch Leek Casserole image

This is a dish my mum used to make at home, and has no added butter or oil. It's a complete meal for those cold winter nights, and best eaten straight from the oven. The chili gives extra zing to the dish.

This casserole was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time. Other than that, it was a good recipe. The leeks and potatoes were cooked perfectly and the cheese was melted and bubbly. I served it with a side salad and it was

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The casserole was watery and bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but I think there might be a mistake in the ingredient measurements. I'm not sure if I'll try this recipe again.

This casserole was a bit too rich for my taste. The cheese and bacon were a bit overpowering. I think I would have preferred a lighter version with less cheese and bacon.

This casserole was a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning. I added some salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and it improved the flavor a lot. Overall, it was a good recipe, but it could use a few tweaks.

I'm not a big fan of leeks, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The leeks were mild and mellow, and they paired well with the potatoes and cheese. The casserole was also very easy to make. I will definitely be making

This casserole was a disappointment. The leeks were too strong and the potatoes were undercooked. The cheese didn't melt properly and the bacon was overcooked. I would not recommend this recipe.
