This casserole was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I would have preferred a more balanced flavor profile.

I would have liked this casserole more if it had more hominy in it. The hominy flavor was overpowered by the cheese and bacon.

This casserole was so cheesy and flavorful. The bacon added a nice smoky flavor, and the hominy was a nice change from the usual corn or potatoes.
