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.
