asparagus casserole
This casserole has been on the table for every holiday dinner at my parents' house, and my own, for as long as I can remember. I'm giving the proportions for the smaller size, but you'll need to double it and use a four quart casserole or a 9"x13" pan for a larger crowd. It's not gourmet, it's just good.

Step 3Lightly butter (or spray with cooking oil spray) a 2 quart casserole. (NOTE: Since casserole dishes come in a variety of shapes and depths these days, these directions are for 2 layers, however it can easily be converted to 3 layers.)

Step 5Evenly distribute 1 1/2 cans of drained asparagus in dish.
-
Step 6Place slices of 2 hard boiled eggs evenly over the asparagus.

(Cover lightly with aluminum foil if croutons begin to get too brown.)
