This casserole was a bit dry. I think I'll add some more milk or cream next time.

This casserole was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of salt next time.

I've made this casserole several times now and it's always a hit. I usually add a can of corn and a can of diced tomatoes to the mix.
