This colorful casserole is a palate-pleaser. Asparagus, mushrooms, onions and pimientos make a mouthwatering medley. Lemon and nutmeg give this dish a slightly tangy taste.—M. Kay Lacey, Apache Junction, Arizona

I made this several years ago for Christmas and it soon became my favorite. I make this often, it's so easy to make ahead of time and bake at mealtime. I have to double this recipe it's so good.
