I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my croquettes didn't turn out. They were too mushy.

I had trouble getting the croquettes to brown. I think I needed to cook them at a higher temperature.

The croquettes were bland. I think they needed more seasoning.

These croquettes were a little too greasy for my taste. I think I would use less butter next time.

These croquettes were easy to make and very tasty. I used sharp cheddar cheese and they had a nice kick to them.

I followed the recipe exactly and the croquettes turned out perfectly. They were golden brown and cooked through. The bacon and cheddar cheese added a nice flavor.

These croquettes were a hit at my party! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with a delicious cheesy bacon flavor. I will definitely be making these again.
