TILAPIA CASSEROLE

Only four ingredients, easy and oh so good! The orginal recipe calls for frozen flounder, but I've found that the Tilapia works better in this recipe. I've updated to change the cooking time from 30 minutes to 45 minutes after reading the reviews.

ASPARAGUS TILAPIA CASSEROLE



Asparagus Tilapia Casserole image

I made this up from ideas from a couple of other recipes. I sometimes like to whisk a little skim milk into the soup before pouring on top so that it infiltrates down to the bottom of the pan better. You could sprinkle the top of the soup with bread crumbs but I like it with out and with out the extra calories. Sometimes I also like to add a can of sliced water chestnuts on top of the asparagus for some crunch.
