Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh asparagus
- 10.75 ounces cream of mushroom soup (1 can)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (sharp, preferred, but other type of equivalent cheese also works)
- 1/2 sleeve crushed butter crackers (Ritz)
- 1/4 cup melted butter
How to Make
-
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!
