Asparagus and Wild Rice Casserole Recipe

Asparagus and Wild Rice Casserole Recipe Rating 5

I learned the fun of cooking as a child. I love to create as I cook— this recipe is a combination of several different asparagus dishes. It's also tasty with pieces of cooked duck added to the wild rice.

This is phenomenal!!! Big hit! This is so creamy and yummy.

I would not substitute the sour cream next time, though. I did not have any, so used the cream cheese instead. It was too bland. I did add a few drops of hot sauce for a little zip.

Wonderful recipe!

We substitute 8 oz cream cheese for the sour cream and top with parmesan cheese instead of the cheddar, It's a hands down Favorite annual venison dinner side dish
