Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Grease a casserole dish with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
-
Layer half of the English peas evenly at the bottom of the greased casserole dish.
-
Add a layer of asparagus cuts on top of the peas. Arrange them in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
-
Spread sliced mushrooms over the asparagus layer. Mushrooms add a savory depth of flavor to the casserole.
-
Pour half of the can of cream of mushroom soup over the mushroom layer. This creamy base binds the ingredients together while adding richness.
-
Sprinkle half of the cracker crumbs over the soup layer. The crumbs will add a crunchy texture to contrast with the creamy filling.
-
Top the cracker crumbs with half of the grated cheddar cheese. Cheddar cheese melts beautifully and adds a gooey, cheesy goodness to the casserole.
-
Repeat the layers in the same order: peas, asparagus, mushrooms, soup, cracker crumbs, and cheddar cheese.
-
Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil to prevent the cheese from burning during baking.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the casserole is heated through.
-
Serve hot and enjoy the comforting flavors of this delicious casserole!
