Cheesy Asparagus Casserole
This Cheesy Asparagus Casserole transforms fresh asparagus into a creamy, savory side dish that feels extra special. A blend of Pepper Jack cheese and red pepper flakes adds a gentle kick, perfectly balancing the rich sauce made with heavy cream and bacon. Pouring the sauce over the center of the stalks allows the tips to stay exposed and roast lightly, while the rest of the asparagus cooks to tender perfection in the smooth, cheesy sauce.
