- 16 oz. fresh asparagus
- 4 oz. cream cheese
- ¼ cup chicken broth
- ½ tsp. garlic powder
- ½ tsp. onion powder
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ½ cup shredded cheddar
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese grated
Preheat the oven to 325
Rinse and snap the asparagus (take a handful of asparagus, hold them by both ends, and bend - they will snap apart - discard the bottom portion, and use the top)
In a small bowl, mix the chicken broth and cream cheese
mix the garlic, onion, and salt into the broth mixture
Grease a casserole dish
Place the asparagus into the dish
pour the broth mixture over the asparagus
sprinkle cheese over the broth mixture
place aluminum foil over the dish
Bake for 30 minutes, remove foil and bake another 10 minutes
For a crunchy top, you can sprinkle panko bread crumbs or fried onion bits over the cheese before baking
For golden cheese topping - broil for 2 minutes after casserole has cooked
