Time 40m

Yield 1 9x13x2 casserole, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 bunches fresh asparagus or 2 (15 ounce) cans asparagus, drained
4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled & thinly sliced
1/3 cup butter flavored cracker, crushed (I use Ritz)
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1/4 cup milk
salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon italian seasoning (optional)

Steps:

  • Drop fresh asparagus into boiling water.
  • As soon as they turn"bright" green, remove and plunge them into ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Drain.
  • Mix soup and milk together.
  • Place asparagus in 9x13x2-inch casserole.
  • Top with sliced eggs.
  • Sprinkle with crackers; sprinkle with cheese.
  • Pour soup mixture over casserole.
  • Bake at 350 degrees until hot, just bubbling and cheese is melted.
  • NOTE: For a spicier version my family really, really likes, I use Cheez-its (Hot and Spicy) crackers instead of the butter-flavored crackers mentioned above. I usually add a few more crackers than the original recipe calls for.

MRS BICE'S ASPARAGUS CASSEROLE



Mrs Bice's Asparagus Casserole image

Mrs. Bice was a member of my grandparent's church when I was growing up. I remember this casserole from the funeral lunches the UMW would prepare for the family before or after the service. Mrs. Bice's original recipe calls for 3 cans of asparagus spears, but I prefer fresh or high quality frozen cooked. You need enough to cover the bottom of your pan completely. Asparagus lovers like me say "the more the better!" This was always served as a side dish, but I often make it as a meatless main dish.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h25m

Yield 6-8 as a side dish

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 -2 lb fresh asparagus

1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup flour
2 1/2-3 cups milk (or you can use half milk and half chicken broth)

Steps:

  • Steam or cook asparagus as desired. I always leave the spears whole, but it may be easier for serving to cut them in half.
  • Sprinkle 1 cup Ritz cracker crumbs in bottom of prepared 13"x9" casserole.
  • Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups cheese over crumbs.
  • Layer all asparagus over cheese.
  • Sprinkle chopped eggs over asparagus.
  • Prepare cream sauce:.
  • Blend flour and butter over medium heat until it makes a paste.
  • Add liquid, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cook, stirring constantly, until bubbly and thick, adding more liquid as needed.
  • Spread cream sauce over eggs.
  • On top of sauce, sprinkle pimento, remainder of cheese, topping with remaining Ritz cracker crumbs.
  • Bake at 350 about 40 minutes until bubbly and cheese is turning light brown.
