Combine cooked and drained asparagus with cream of mushroom soup. Pour into prepared baking dish.

Notes
This is a fresh asparagus casserole; however, canned asparagus could be used. Be sure to drain well and then proceed with the rest of the recipe steps.
Do not overcook the asparagus when boiling unless you like a really mushy asparagus casserole. I prefer my asparagus to have a little bite to it. If you do not, go ahead and boil it longer.
Try substituting in a different flavor of cream soup for a new spin on this asparagus casserole with cream of mushroom soup recipe.
Substitute margarine for butter, if needed.
Any type of shredded cheese and any type of crushed crackers will work in this easy asparagus casserole recipe
