I remember the first time I had this...My mom made it, and it was so good! I got the recipe, but never made it myself until a few years ago, it just seemed to complicated...Weeeeelllllllll, I feel stupid...it's not that complicated at all...and now I'm glad mom found this, because I might just have turned the page and ignored it!

How to Make Crab Asparagus Hotdish
- Place asparagus into a 2 quart casserole dish that that has been sprayed with non stick spray. Top with crab, sprinkle cheese over crab and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan melt 2 tablespoon butter, stir in flour until smooth. Whisk in milk, mustard, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium heat, cook and stir 1-2 minutes or until thickened.
- Remove from heat, stir in lemon and pour over asparagus mixture...
- Melt remaining butter, toss with crumbs and sprinkle over top of casserole, bake uncovered at 350 for 45 minutes.
- *I use fresh asparagus that I've steamed
*I use a good imitation crab you get from the meat department at most grocery stores, and chop it up a bit.
