I made this recipe and we liked it only I would put a thin layer of crushed crackers on the bottom of my dish and then add the cheese. Same for the second layer. 2 cups of crackers was way too much and made this recipe too salty. I will make it again, as we did like it, and maybe add a little soy sauce to the soup and mushrooms.

YAY FOR ASPARAGUS! I was so excited to see this recipe because I love asparagus and I love casseroles! I used cheese soup and oyster crackers as replacements because that's what I had in my cupboard and it was sooooooooo good!!! Even the next day!

This recipe was pretty good. The asparagus from a can was pretty icky, so I'll probably use fresh or frozen and just cook it ahead of time next time I try this one.

Great the first time round, but didn't reheat very well.

This is a huge hit with my seven year old, although she was not crazy about the almonds. Easy to improvise, used cream of celery soup once and fresh asparagus instead of canned, with a little milk and some of the water used to steam the asparagus. Will try with cheese nips next time as another reviewer suggested, that sounds good.

It was too salty, and I had to use more cheese and saltine crackers to comfortably layer the casseroles. I expected it to taste much better. On the bright side, however, the directions were really easy to follow and easy to put together.

This was excellent! I used fresh asparagus and steamed it first using chicken broth. Then I realized the only crackers I had on hand were Triscuts, which turned out to be a good substitute. Eliminated the almonds and followed the recipe otherwise and it was fantastic, thanks!

We thought this was very good. Next time I won't add all the almonds.

My husband and I loved this recipe. I did make a few changes because I did not have the correct ingredients on hand. I used Ritz crackers and cheddar cheese soup. In addition I used fresh steamed asparagus and then added milk to the soup mixture. The results were great, thanks!

I would recommend not putting the juice from the canned asparagus into the liquid mixture, the flavor of that stuff is horrible. I like asparagus, but this didn't taste good at all.

This was the first recipe I've ever taken from this website (new user) and it was a huge success!! I made it for a holiday party but it didn't get eaten because there weren't many asparagus-eaters, so I brought it to another gathering the next day and we ran out, and had people asking for more, and for the recipe! It was great....and that was as leftovers. I modified the recipe to include fresh asparagus instead of canned, Cheese-its instead of saltines (as one other reviewer suggested), and cream of asparagus instead of mushroom. I think it provides a lot of flexibility for improvising, based on what's in the cabinets. Thanks for the recipe!

I made this for my family, and it was a HUGE hit. They all thought I was crazy for wanting asparagus. No one had ever had it before. But, WOW! It was so good! I used a 3 qt casserole dish though. It fit perfectly. Thanks for a new family favorite kdb!

It was yummy, I substituted Cheese Nips for saltines because my husband is a cheese addict. It was a little soupy. Next time I plan to only use half a can of soup and maybe 2 cans of asparagus. I'm wondering if I should try fresh asparagus. I think that may make the dish even fresher tasting.

I got plenty of raves about this recipe. Everyone loved it! If you decide to use fresh asparagus, I recommend steaming it and cutting it into bite size pieces. I used fresh asparagus that I had blanched and frozen--it was too stringy. Today I am going to chop it first.

My boy friend, who is not a big fan of cooked vegetable definitely liked this dish. It is vegetarian but still just good enough to make you feel happily full, but not to heavy.
