One family recipe that was always a crowd pleaser, is the Asparagus-Egg-Cheese casserole. It is a treat to see kids vying to get more *asparagus*, that many of them normally shun.
6 tbsp butter
3 tbsp chopped green pepper
2 tbsp grated onion
4 tbsp flour
2 cups milk
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground pepper
Saute until tender in top of double boiler, then add flour
and blend. Gradually add milk and cook until smooth and thick.
Add salt and pepper.
3-15 oz drained cans of asparagus
6 sliced hard boiled eggs
American cheese slices
3/4 cup buttered crumbs
Alternate layers of asparagus, egg slices and cheese slices, and
sauce in a large, square baking dish. Top with final layer of
sauce and buttered crumbs.
Bake in 350F oven for 20 minutes.
That is just hideous. CANNED asparagus and American cheese. Would probably be good with fresh asparagus and cheddar.
