It's Jamie Dean here of Mama's Kitchen,
0:02
cooking outta Mama's magazine.
0:04
Today, we're doing a perfect side for this time of year.
0:07
You've got your start of the year parties
0:09
or maybe winding down last year parties.
0:12
Everybody needs a good side dish
0:14
so today, we're doing an asparagus casserole.
0:18
Now, have y'all ever wondered,
0:19
I wonder if people on TV or internet or anywhere,
0:23
have to cook things that they don't like?
0:24
Yeah, today's the day.
0:27
I don't like asparagus, but I hope you like asparagus
0:32
and if you do, this is a very easy recipe.
0:35
You see here, we got a two quart casserole.
0:38
I got a couple good bunches of asparagus in there
0:41
and I've washed these and you know you just snap the bottom
0:46
Where an asparagus breaks,
0:48
that's where it needs to be broken.
0:50
You don't want to get that tough end in there at all.
0:53
So we're gonna go to a casserole favorite, mushroom soup.
0:57
So half this can of mushroom soup
0:59
is gonna go on top of our asparagus here.
1:03
Now y'all don't be calling Mama
1:05
and telling her I don't like her recipes
1:07
or Jamie said this wasn't good.
1:09
Everybody is allowed to like what they like.
1:15
And when I had asparagus when I was a little boy,
1:17
I had to go to the bathroom shortly thereafter
1:20
and I said, "Oo, that smells funny, Mama."
1:23
And she said, "Oh, it was asparagus."
1:24
And I said, "Okay, I'm out."
1:26
So I'm out on asparagus.
1:29
Half the soup goes on top of that,
1:33
I got some fresh peas. Now, I love english peas.
1:37
Love, love, love peas.
1:41
And this is the part that's a little,
1:44
Mama what are you thinking?
1:45
We're gonna slice some boiled eggs
1:48
and put it on top of here.
1:53
It sure looks pretty.
2:02
I've got three boiled eggs here,
2:04
that I think is gonna be a pretty good cover here for us.
2:09
I'm gonna spread these around
2:11
and we're going with half the cheese.
2:17
We're gonna use every bit of this casserole tin.
2:21
Okay. I'm gonna push this down a little bit.
2:23
- I need to get your melted to butter
2:24
so we're gonna have to take a quick break
2:26
after you do the soup.
2:27
- Okay. Well look, I'm gonna spread the rest of this soup
2:30
on top of here and we're gonna reset.
2:33
And when you get back
2:34
we'll finish this delicious
2:39
Okay, y'all, here we are.
2:42
This is one of my favorite casseroles in the whole world.
2:44
This is asparagus casserole.
2:49
I got a sleeve of some butter crackers
2:51
and I've got a little bit of butter here.
2:53
We're gonna mix these things together.
2:58
is fresh asparagus on the bottom
3:01
english peas, half a can of mushroom soup.
3:04
We sliced some boiled eggs on there.
3:07
We put in half the cheese.
3:09
So I'm gonna top the rest of this off with cheese.
3:14
- Yeah, it's gonna be good.
3:16
I kid about asparagus.
3:18
I will tell you that I haven't had
3:22
asparagus casserole, but my wife does fresh asparagus
3:26
on a sheet pan with a little bit of olive oil
3:30
That's really good too.
3:32
Then I'm gonna take our, basically this is our topping.
3:41
- I love all these colors.
3:47
She's got me here this far.
3:48
So we're gonna see where this gets us.
3:50
We're gonna spend about 25 minutes in the oven
3:55
and when we come back
3:56
we're eating stinky tea tea.
3:58
I mean, we're eating asparagus casserole.
4:00
Hey y'all, thanks for sticking around the wait's
4:04
We've got Mom's asparagus casserole with some eggs
4:14
This is the start of a new year, y'all.
4:16
So how about trying a new dish?
4:22
So, you know, we work through things with our recipes.
4:25
You might want to, I would consider maybe
4:28
cutting the asparagus before we put it in here.
4:32
'Cause you know how asparagus it is.
4:36
That's enough for us to taste there.
4:38
Plus it's gonna be hot as the blazes.
4:41
If you love asparagus, y'all can trust Mom.
4:44
This is a delicious recipe.
4:46
Let me let it cool off a little bit.
4:58
We got asparagus tip in there.
5:02
I like how it holds its firmness.
5:06
Let's try this egg right here too with the peas.
5:08
Mama, I'm sorry I stand corrected. Mm it's good.
5:16
Thank y'all for tuning in today.
5:18
I hope you have a fantastic, wonderful, prosperous
5:20
healthy year coming ahead.
5:24
You know what I was gonna do?
5:25
I was gonna swap a cookie out instead
5:26
of eating asparagus casserole and I'm glad I tried it.
5:29
It's good, you should try it too.
5:32
We'll see you all around the kitchen.
