The gratin was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would have used less bacon next time.

The gratin was a bit too oily for my liking. I think I would have drained the bacon grease before adding it to the dish.

This gratin was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used some more seasoning.

I'm not a huge fan of beans, but this gratin was surprisingly good. The cheesy topping and smoky bacon really made the dish.

This gratin is a great make-ahead dish. I often make it on the weekend and then reheat it during the week for a quick and easy meal.

I added some chopped spinach to this gratin and it was delicious! It's a great way to sneak some extra veggies into your diet.

This gratin is a great way to use up leftover beans. I always have a can or two of beans in my pantry, so this is a go-to recipe for me.

This gratin was a hit with my family! The beans were creamy and flavorful, and the bacon added a nice smoky flavor. I will definitely be making this again.
