Cheesy Asparagus Casserole

This Cheesy Asparagus Casserole turns simple asparagus into a rich, savory side dish. The combination of Pepper Jack cheese and red pepper flakes adds a subtle heat that balances the creamy sauce made with heavy cream and bacon. Pouring the sauce over the middle of the stalks keeps the tips exposed so they roast nicely, while the rest of the asparagus becomes tender in the velvety cheese sauce.

Step 1: Prep the Asparagus
Preheat oven to 400°F. Wash the asparagus and trim the woody ends. Grease a 9×13-inch baking tray and arrange the asparagus in a single layer.

Step 2: Make the Sauce Base
