Ham Asparagus Gratin

Asparagus and ham belong together, just like pork and beans, biscuits
and gravy, bacon and eggs. Add a few simple ingredients and Cheddar
cheese to this classic combination, and you've got yourself a tradition
in this casserole.

                              If you baked a ham for New Year's Day and have leftovers, this
is a great recipe for taking care of them. For a little extra flavor and
richness, add slices of hard-cooked egg to the casserole.
