I didn't love this casserole. The sauce was too thin and the cheese was rubbery.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

This casserole was delicious! I made it for my family and they all loved it. The sauce was so flavorful and the cheese was melted and gooey. I will definitely be making this again.
