1/4 cup melted butter

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 2 quart (or 8 x 8 inch) baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Wash asparagus. Break into bite sized pieces.
Boil in salted water for 4 minutes; drain well.
Combine cooked and drained asparagus with cream of mushroom soup. Pour into prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle shredded cheese over top.
Top with crushed crackers.
Pour butter over top the entire casserole.

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.
