Asparagus Casserole

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 6

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
Two 15-ounce cans asparagus spears, drained
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
4 hard-boiled eggs, sliced
Salt and pepper
1 cup breadcrumbs

Preparation

  1. To make the sauce, heat the butter in a skillet; stir in the flour, mixing well, then add the milk all at once. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick and creamy; set aside. Arrange half of the asparagus in the bottom of a buttered 2-quart casserole. Top with half of the Cheddar and half of the egg slices. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Pour half of the sauce on top. Repeat the layers beginning with the remaining asparagus. Top with the breadcrumbs and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
