Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter or spray with nonstick cooking spray a 2 quart (or 8 x 8 inch) baking dish.
Step 2
Wash asparagus. Break into bite sized pieces. To a small to medium saucepan, add enough water to cover asparagus, add enough salt to flavor, bring water to a boil; add asparagus and cook for about 4 minutes, until asparagus is just cooked but with still a bite; drain well. (NOTE: DO NOT overcook the asparagus, otherwise, the casserole will turn out mushy).
Step 3
To the drained asparagus, add cream of mushroom soup and combine. Pour into prepared baking dish.
Step 4
Sprinkle shredded cheese over top. Top with crushed crackers. Pour butter over the top of the entire casserole.
Step 5
Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until bubbly and hot. Serve and enjoy!
