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

Steps:
- 1. Heat oven to 400. Spray 1-1/2 quart casserole dish w/ cooking spray. In lg saucepan, cook potatoes in water, covered, until tender, about 5-8 mins, drain, transfer to a bowl.

Tips:
- Use fresh asparagus. Fresh asparagus is the best choice for this recipe because it has a crisp texture and a sweet flavor. If you can't find fresh asparagus, you can use frozen asparagus, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
- Cook the asparagus until it is tender-crisp. You don't want to overcook the asparagus, or it will become mushy. Cook it just until it is tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
- Use a good quality ham. The ham is one of the main ingredients in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality ham. Look for a ham that is fully cooked and has a good flavor.
- Don't overcook the ham. The ham is already cooked, so you don't need to cook it for long. Just heat it through until it is warm, about 2-3 minutes.
- Serve the ham and asparagus bake immediately. This dish is best served hot out of the oven. It can be served with a side of mashed potatoes or rice.
Conclusion:
This ham and asparagus bake is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is made with fresh asparagus, ham, cheese, and a creamy sauce. The dish is baked in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
