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

Step-by-Step

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.
