Provided by BeachGirl

Time 40m

Yield 1 9x13x2 casserole, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 bunches fresh asparagus or 2 (15 ounce) cans asparagus, drained
4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled & thinly sliced
1/3 cup butter flavored cracker, crushed (I use Ritz)
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1/4 cup milk
salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon italian seasoning (optional)

Steps:

  • Drop fresh asparagus into boiling water.
  • As soon as they turn"bright" green, remove and plunge them into ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Drain.
  • Mix soup and milk together.
  • Place asparagus in 9x13x2-inch casserole.
  • Top with sliced eggs.
  • Sprinkle with crackers; sprinkle with cheese.
  • Pour soup mixture over casserole.
  • Bake at 350 degrees until hot, just bubbling and cheese is melted.
  • NOTE: For a spicier version my family really, really likes, I use Cheez-its (Hot and Spicy) crackers instead of the butter-flavored crackers mentioned above. I usually add a few more crackers than the original recipe calls for.

ASPARAGUS CASSEROLE



Asparagus Casserole image

Categories     Sauce     Bake     Roast     Steam     Lunch     Asparagus

Yield serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Asparagus liquid plus enough milk to equal 2 cups
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 ounces Cheddar cheese, grated
2 15-ounce cans asparagus spears, drained, liquid reserved
4 hard-boiled eggs, cracked and peeled
1/2 cup saltine cracker crumbs (about 10 crackers)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the flour to make a roux. Cook for 1 minute, and then whisk in the milk and the asparagus liquid. Add the salt and continue cooking until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Add the grated cheese and stir until it's melted, about 1 minute.
  • Arrange the asparagus in the bottom of a 9 x 12 x 2-inch baking dish, alternating the stem ends so each serving includes both heads and stems. Thinly slice the eggs and arrange them over the asparagus. Pour the cheese sauce over the eggs and asparagus and sprinkle with the cracker crumbs. Bake the casserole for 20 minutes, or until it is lightly browned and bubbles appear around the edges.
  • From Beth
  • You can substitute fresh asparagus for canned, but be sure to trim the tough ends and steam before using. Because you won't have any extra asparagus liquid from the can, use 2 cups milk.
  • From Gwen
  • Using the liquid from the canned asparagus intensifies the flavor of the sauce.

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Two bunches fresh asparagus
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
Pinch salt
5 ounces Cheddar, grated
4 hard-boiled eggs
1/2 cup saltine cracker crumbs (about 10 crackers)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Add the asparagus to a large pot of boiling water, keeping the bundles together with rubber bands or string. Cook for a couple of minutes; the asparagus should be bright green and still crunchy. List the bundles out of the water and slice off the tough ends of the asparagus. Drop the trimmed ends back in the boiling water and lower to a simmer.
  • Run the asparagus tops under cold water to stop the cooking.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the flour to make a roux. Cook for 1 minute, then whisk in the milk and 1 cup of the asparagus cooking liquid. Add the salt and continue cooking until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Add the grated Cheddar and cook, stirring, until melted, about 1 minute.
  • Arrange the asparagus in the bottom of a 9-by-12-by-2-inch baking dish, alternating the stem ends so each serving includes both heads and stems. Thinly slice the hard-boiled eggs and arrange them over the asparagus. Pour the cheese sauce over the eggs and asparagus and sprinkle with the cracker crumbs. Bake until lightly browned and bubbles appear around the edges, about 20 minutes.

ASPARAGUS CASSEROLE

Take this traditional southern side dish to the next level with smoky bacon, creamy bechamel, and sharp gruyere.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 bunches asparagus (about 2 pounds), cut into 2-inch pieces (about 6 cups)
4 thick-slices bacon (about 4 ounces), chopped (about 1 cup)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup finely chopped onion (from 1/2 a small onion)
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 cups whole milk
4 large hard-boiled eggs, halved lengthwise
1 cup butter crackers (such as Ritz), coarsely crushed (about 2 ounces)
1 cup shredded gruyere cheese (about 2 1/2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in the upper third. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil; prepare an ice bath. Add asparagus and cook until just tender and bright green, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to ice bath; drain.
  • Return pot to medium heat. Add bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes; remove bacon with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Discard rendered fat or reserve for another use. Add butter to same pot and heat over medium until foamy. Add onion, nutmeg, cayenne and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in flour and cook, stirring occasionally, until toasted and fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in mustard, then gradually whisk in milk and bring to a boil, whisking often. Reduce to a simmer and cook until thickened slightly, about 5 minutes. (You should have about 2 cups bechamel.) If not using right away, press a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the sauce to keep a film from forming.
  • Spread 1 cup bechamel evenly across the bottom of a 9-inch-square baking dish. Reserving 1 cup for topping, sprinkle remaining asparagus over bechamel. Arrange reserved bacon in an even layer on top, followed by the sliced eggs, cracker crumbs and remaining bechamel. Sprinkle the reserved 1 cup asparagus down the center of the casserole, then sprinkle the cheese evenly on top and season with black pepper. Bake until sauce is bubbling, about 25 minutes. Turn oven to broil setting and continue to cook until golden-brown on top, 3 to 4 minutes more. Let cool 15 minutes on a wire rack before serving.
