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

Use a good quality baking dish: A heavy-bottomed baking dish will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the casserole from burning.
