Sounds normal to me - it'll be the cheese 'curdling' with the milk because there's no flour emulsifying it into a sauce.

Sounds like the milk had split - it's nothing to worry about and will be fine to eat, just doesn't look that attractive. It usually happens when milk is cooked at too high a temperature, and tends to happen when there's either too much or not enough fat in the milk or cream - next time try using whipping cream, and cooking it at a lower temperature for longer.

If it's my recipe for potato bake it's fine for it to be a bit watery. It's the water coming out of the onions. It will still taste lovely.
