This casserole was a disaster! It was mushy and tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe.

Overall, I thought this casserole was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning.

This casserole was a little too heavy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less cheese.

The cheese topping on this casserole is amazing! It's perfectly crispy and golden brown.

I've never had macaroni casserole before, but this recipe was a great introduction. It was cheesy, creamy, and delicious.
