ASPARAGUS CASSEROLE

1 can asparagus spears (drain asparagus, save liquid) Note: I also use a small
can of cut asparagus tips and spears and
      double the white sauce.
1 lb. grated sharp cheddar cheese
Diced pimento
Boiled eggs
Blanched almonds (optional)

        Make a white sauce using 4 tablespoons butter, 4 tablespoons
        flour, 2 cups milk (For more asparagus flavor use 1 cup of
        milk and 1 cup of asparagus liquid mixed.) Melt butter over
        medium heat, stir in flour, stirring constantly.  Then add
        milk gradually, add pinch of salt.  Keep stirring until sauce
        thickens.  Grease casserole dish.  Put layer of asparagus,
        layer of grated cheese, diced pimento, boiled egg slices and
        then a layer of the white sauce.  Alternate layers until all
        used up.  Top with bread crumbs.  Bake at 350 until bubbly.

We didn't get any responses for this recipe. Anyone have something similar?

I have always loved the pizza from Jerry's Pizza in Mt. Pleasant, IA because
they have the best thin cracker crust I've ever had.  Does anyone have a
recipe for a crust like this? Thanks!!
