1 10 1/2 oz can of cream of mushroom soup
4 hard boiled eggs sliced
1 cup of saltine cracker crumbs

Asparagus Pea Casserole

This is necessary along with cheese grits and frozen cranberry salad at our house on Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Drain liquid from the peas and asparagus and save.

Cook sauce over medium heat. When it begins to thicken, add the grated cheese. After removing from heat, add 2 hard-boiled sliced eggs before putting in the asparagus.
2 T Butter
2 T Flour
Mix and add
½ cup of the asparagus liquid
½-cup milk

I usually save the drained liquids as I sometimes add more to make a little more sauce.

Put in the casserole and add crushed crackers on top. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 10 – 15 minutes until bubbly.


Asparagus and English Pea Casserole

Miss Daisy’s Tearoom’s recipe that Mother had copied. I remember her making this but the asparagus pea casserole which I posted previously is my favorite.

1 16 oz can baby English peas - drained
1 16 oz. can asparagus cuts - drained
1 oz. can of mushroom pieces
1 can mushroom soup
½-cup cracker crumbs
½ cup grated cheddar cheese

Drain vegetables and mushroom pieces. Place half of the amount of ingredients in the order listed into a BUTTERED casserole dish. Repeat the layers in order with the remainder. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 30 minutes.


To a joyful present and a well remembered past. Best wishes for Happy holidays and a magnificent New Year.
