Here’s a simple, tasty asparagus casserole you can make at home 🥦

Easy Asparagus Casserole

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450 g) fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1–2 inch pieces

• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)

• 1 can (10–11 oz) cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken)

• ½ cup milk

• ½ cup breadcrumbs or crushed crackers

• 2 tbsp butter, melted

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Optional add-ins: sliced mushrooms, onions, garlic, cooked chicken, or bacon bits

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Blanch asparagus in boiling water for 2–3 minutes, then drain (keeps it bright and tender).

3. In a bowl, mix soup, milk, half the cheese, salt, and pepper.

4. Stir in the asparagus (and any optional add-ins).

5. Transfer to a greased baking dish.

6. Top with remaining cheese.

7. Mix breadcrumbs with melted butter and sprinkle on top.

8. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until bubbly and lightly golden.

9. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips

• For a crispier top, broil for the last 2 minutes.

• Want it lighter? Use Greek yogurt instead of soup.

• Works great as a side dish or a main with added protein.
