My Asparagus Casserole image

I had some wonderful asparagus that I found at a farmer's market that I wanted to use as a main dish. I found a recipe for an asparagus casserole that looked intriguing. I didn't have as much fresh asparagus as the recipe called for, so I decided to add green beans to the mix, along with a few other items to really give this casserole a bit more substance. This was the best casserole of any kind that I think I've ever had. My husband hasn't been able to stop eating it either, even the next day!

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 cup chicken broth
1 (8 ounce) precooked ham steak, diced - divided
1 cup crushed buttery round crackers
1 cup frozen green beans
1 cup French fried onions
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Place asparagus spears into a large skillet and pour in about 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil, cover skillet, and steam until the asparagus is very tender, about 20 minutes, adding more water if needed. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
  • Lay the asparagus into the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
  • Whisk together cream of mushroom soup and chicken broth in a bowl; pour half the soup mixture over the asparagus.
  • Sprinkle in half the diced ham.
  • Spread cracker crumbs evenly over the ham.
  • Spread green beans over the cracker crumbs.
  • Pour remaining soup mixture over the casserole and sprinkle on the remaining ham.
  • Arrange French-fried onions over the top of the casserole, and cover the casserole with a lid.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the casserole is bubbling, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, and sprinkle Cheddar cheese over the casserole in an even layer.
  • Return to oven without covering casserole; bake until the cheese is melted, another 5 minutes.

This casserole was a bit too cheesy for me. I think I would have preferred it with less cheese.

The asparagus was a bit tough in my casserole. I think I should have cooked it for a little longer.
