This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some roasted broccoli and cauliflower that I threw in, and it turned out great!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my casserole turned out watery. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't come together.

The polenta was a bit too firm for my taste. I think I would have preferred it to be creamier.

I found this recipe to be a bit too time-consuming. It took me over an hour to make, and the results were not worth the effort.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning or some kind of sauce.
