EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Here's a quick and easy casserole with lots of flavor and color. Use any flavor of cream soup you have on hand. Break off tough ends of asparagus by breaking off the stalk as far down as it snaps easily. This is a fast and sure way of removing any of the stalk that isn't tender.

Add 1 cup cubed fully cooked smoked turkey ham with asparagus in step 2. Continue as directed.

Excellent way to use up my asparagus. I made this yesterday but replaced couscous with a boxed quinoa mix. I stirred the casserole before adding the breadcrumbs and it didn't look like it would be done in the addt'l 10 minutes the recipe called for. After the breadcrumbs were crunchy, I covered with aluminum foil and left in the oven for an additional 15-20 minutes. This was wonderful!
