The cheese sauce in this recipe is too thick. I had to add more milk to thin it out.

This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chipotle peppers.

This recipe is a bit bland. I had to add extra salt and pepper to taste. I would also recommend adding some other spices, such as garlic powder or onion powder.
