This casserole was a bit too dry for my taste. I think next time I'll add a little more milk or cream to the recipe.

I'm not a big fan of cream cheese, so I omitted it from the recipe. The casserole was still delicious, but I think it would have been even better with the cream cheese filling.

This casserole was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it. I think next time I'll reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe.

I'm not usually a fan of pumpkin, but this casserole changed my mind. The pumpkin flavor was subtle and perfectly complemented the spices. The casserole was also incredibly moist and fluffy. I highly recommend this recipe!
