One Simple Addition Puts This Cheesy Potato Casserole At The Front Of The Line

This is a super filling dish, and you can feel good about eating a nice big portion of it with all that healthy asparagus in it. I usually make it following these instructions listed, but sometimes I will mix it up a bit with different cheeses and the addition of other vegetables. If you can’t find asparagus, just about any chunky vegetable will go well with this combination of flavors. Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at The Weary Chef:

“This satisfying Cheesy Asparagus and Potato Casserole is comforting like macaroni and cheese (you know, except with vegetables).”

Enjoy the comforts of a macaroni and cheese style dish with more health benefits!
