Ingredients

• 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)

Recipe

• 2 as soon as they turn"bright" green, remove and plunge them into ice water to stop the cooking process.
• 3 drain.
• 4 mix soup and milk together.
• 5 place asparagus in 9x13x2-inch casserole.
• 6 top with sliced eggs.
• 7 sprinkle with crackers; sprinkle with cheese.
• 8 pour soup mixture over casserole.
• 9 bake at 350 degrees until hot, just bubbling and cheese is melted.
• 10 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.
