I created this casserole one day while trying to find a good recipe for leftover ham. Instead of resorting to scalloped potatoes and ham, or ham and noodles, I tried asparagus. Everyone liked it so well, I've made it ever since.-Helen Ostronic, Omaha, Nebraska

ASPARAGUS CASSEROLE
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.
HAM AND ASPARAGUS CASSEROLE
Great way to use up leftover rice--I modified a recipe I found on the web and ended up with a real winner. Also great the next morning with scrambled eggs. I have a feeling that the right combination of seasonings could replace the cream of celery soup--let me know if you figure it out!

Tips:
- Choose Fresh Asparagus: Select asparagus spears that are bright green, firm, and have tightly closed tips. Avoid woody or limp spears.
- Trim Asparagus Properly: Cut off the tough ends of the asparagus spears. You can do this by bending the spears until they snap naturally. Alternatively, use a sharp knife to cut off about 1-2 inches from the bottom.
- Prepare Ham Wisely: If using deli ham, slice it into thin strips. If using leftover ham, make sure to remove any fat or gristle.
- Create a Flavorful Sauce: The sauce in this casserole is made with a combination of cream of celery soup, milk, and Dijon mustard. Feel free to adjust the measurements to achieve your desired flavor balance.
- Don't Overcook the Casserole: Asparagus cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. The casserole should be baked for just long enough to heat the ingredients through and slightly brown the top.
