Our extended family loves this recipe. It comes from my Grandmother Morrow. This is our equivalent of the common green bean casserole. "Whose bringing the asparagus casserole?"

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Creamy and full of textures, this asparagus casserole recipe is a great way to jazz up canned asparagus. Thick and rich, the homemade cream sauce holds the casserole together. Chopped hard-boiled eggs aren't an expected ingredient, but they work nicely and add another layer of texture to the casserole. You can't go wrong with a layer of melted cheese on top! Easy enough to have every day but fancy enough to make for a holiday side dish.
