Going to make this tonight, hope its good! I will let everyone know.

Ham, cheese and asparagus are baked together with seasonings and corkscrew pasta in a cheesy sauce to make this savory baked casserole.


Ingredients:

1 can (10 3/4 ounces) Campbell's® Condensed Cream of Asparagus Soup
1/2 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups cooked cut asparagus
1 1/2 cups cubed cooked ham
2 1/4 cups corkscrew-shaped pasta (rotini), cooked and drained
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese OR Swiss cheese (about 4 ounces)



Directions:

Stir the soup, milk, onion powder, black pepper, asparagus, ham, pasta and 1/2 cup cheese in a 2-quart shallow baking dish.

Bake at 400°F. for 25 minutes or until the ham mixture is hot and bubbling. Stir the ham mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.

Bake for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

    the Sodium content seems extremely high for one meal, almost a whole day's worth; make sure you drink a few extra glasses of water today and tonight.

    Yes your right, it must be because of the canned soup. Canned food is always so high in sodium.
    Any suggestions on how to reduce sodium?
