Try my late DH's asparagus casserole.Don't tell them what it is and they'll love it.I never have any left once they realized how good it was.

Asparagus Casserole

In small square casserole dish layer long stem asparagus
cream of mushroom soup
sliced almonds
english peas
pimentos
grated or sliced velveeta
Repeat until dish is almost full top with almonds.Bake at 350 for 30 mins until cheese is all bubbly.
You can make this the night before cover then bake when ready.

Carrots au Gratin is a favourite dish for a group at our home. I often double this recipe, serving in two shallow au gratin dishes.

Carrots Au Gratin

1/3 cup Corn Flake Crumbs

3 tablespoon butter, melted

1/3 cup chopped onion

3 tablespoon flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

1 1/2 cups milk

2/3 cup shredded cheese (I use a sharp white cheese)

4 1/2 cups cooked, baby carrots (about 1 1/2 lbs.)

1 tablespoon parsley flakes

In small bowl or shallow pan, combine Corn Flake Crumbs and 1 tbsp of butter. Set aside.

Add onion to remaining margarine. Saute over low heat (do not brown). Add flour, salt and pepper. Stir in milk. Increase heat to medium; cook until bubbly and thickened, stirring constantly. Add cheese. Stir until smooth.

Stir in carrots and parsley flakes. Spread in shallow 1 1/2 quart baking dish. Sprinkle with Corn Flake Crumbs mixture.

Bake at 350°F about 20 minutes or until bubbly and crumbs are golden brown. Serve warm.
