Provided by CHEFSHENLEY

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Asparagus

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 (8 ounce) packages whipped cream cheese
1 (11 ounce) can condensed cheese soup
2 (4 ounce) cans shrimp, drained
3 (15 ounce) cans asparagus, drained
1 (6 ounce) can French-fried onions

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • In a mixing bowl, blend cream cheese and cheddar cheese soup until there are no lumps. Fold in the shrimp.
  • Arrange the asparagus in a 9x13 inch casserole dish. They should be arranged so that the head to tail end of the asparagus are alternated. Pour the cheese and shrimp mixture over the asparagus. Use a spatula to spread the soup around evenly. Be careful not to tear asparagus. Make sure there is at least 1/2 an inch of space between the top of the ingredients and the top of casserole dish because the casserole will boil while cooking.

CHEESY CHICKEN ASPARAGUS CASSEROLE



Cheesy Chicken Asparagus Casserole image

This easy-to-make casserole was a hit at my house! I used leftovers for part of it, which is always a plus, and it all went together so well. As for the pasta, we had a mix of cooked bow ties, elbows and spirals and they worked great! My 16-month-old daughter loved it, and the leftovers reheated beautifully the next day. Hope you like it as much as we did!

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh asparagus, bell peppers, and onion will give the casserole the best flavor.
