I followed the recipe exactly, but my casserole didn't turn out as creamy as I hoped. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover polenta. It's also a great dish to make ahead of time.
