There's lots of garlic flavor in this filling side dish. I like it with grilled chicken but it works wonderfully with nearly any menu.—Brenda Nolen, Folsom, Louisiana

This dish was tasteful. It had a rich creamy flavor to it, but in my opinion it had a little too much garlic. Next time i make this dish I'm going to tend to use less of it.

The recipe may have been better if it was prepared better. The taste was alright and the texture could have been a little more soupy rather than thicker. They should cut some of the ingredients in half and it would be stupendous.

This dish may have been very tasty if prepared right, but on the other side when I prepared something went horribly wrong and the taste of the dish was not appetizing at all. Then the texture of the cream sauce didn't help me want to eat it. But all around it had great potential if prepared with the right spices.

This dish was a pretty nice looking one. Though it looked nice, this dish was not my cup of tea sorry to say. The taste was very bland and was too creamy for my liking.
