I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a bit more cheese on top.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more spices.

I'm not a big fan of sweet potatoes, but this dish was actually really good! The beans and spices balanced out the sweetness of the potatoes perfectly.
