ASPARAGUS TILAPIA CASSEROLE
I made this up from ideas from a couple of other recipes. I sometimes like to whisk a little skim milk into the soup before pouring on top so that it infiltrates down to the bottom of the pan better. You could sprinkle the top of the soup with bread crumbs but I like it with out and with out the extra calories. Sometimes I also like to add a can of sliced water chestnuts on top of the asparagus for some crunch.

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.

TILAPIA CASSEROLE
Only four ingredients, easy and oh so good! The orginal recipe calls for frozen flounder, but I've found that the Tilapia works better in this recipe. I've updated to change the cooking time from 30 minutes to 45 minutes after reading the reviews.

Steps:
- Layer frozen fish fillets in greased casserole dish (9x9), overlapping if needed.
- Spread cream of shrimp soup over fish.
- (Do not add water).
- Melt margarine and mix with crushed crackers.
- Sprinkle cracker mixture over casserole.

- Note: Sometimes I sprinkle old bay seasoning on the cream of shrimp soup before adding the crackers.
- Also I add a dash or two of hot sauce to the melted butter before adding to the cracker crumbs.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh asparagus. If you don't have fresh asparagus, you can use frozen asparagus, but make sure to thaw it completely before using it.
- To make the casserole even more flavorful, you can add some chopped garlic or onion to the vegetables.
- If you don't have a casserole dish, you can use a 9x13 inch baking dish instead.
- To make the casserole ahead of time, assemble it and then cover it tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking.
- When you're ready to bake the casserole, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
- Bake the casserole for 30-35 minutes, or until the tilapia is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- Serve the casserole hot with your favorite sides.
