Simple Steps for Preparing Cheesy Asparagus Casserole
Set the oven temperature to 400 degrees. – A After the asparagus has been washed and trimmed, oil a 9 by 13 baking dish and add the spears.Toss in the chicken broth, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and heavy whipping cream when the butter has melted in a pan over medium heat. Continue stirring until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Simmer the sauce over medium-low heat until the heavy whipping cream has thickened and decreased.To prevent it from sticking to the pan bottom, whisk continuously. The sauce needs a few minutes to thicken and decrease.Add the Pepper Jack and Parmesan cheeses and whisk until melted and smooth. Once thickened, add the sauce and continue to stir.Carefully pour the cheese sauce over the asparagus in the center of the dish, being careful not to cover the asparagus’ tips.After that, top the cheese sauce with mozzarella cheese and crushed red pepper flakes.
Cook in the oven for fifteen minutes.Shorten the baking time by two or three minutes if you want your asparagus with a crunchier texture.Take it out of the oven and sprinkle some bacon crumbles on top.Cook for a further three minutes and savor!
