Instructions
 

Cook the Casserole Now:

    Combine soup, milk, and minced onion in a 1½-quart baking dish. Stir in ham, asparagus, elbow pasta (uncooked), and pimentos. Mix well. Cover baking dish with foil.
    Bake in preheated oven for 50 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle cheese on top. Bake 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
    Let cooked casserole sit for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Make as a Freezer Meal:

  • Cook pasta according to package directions for half the cooking time for al dente without salt. Drain and set aside.
    In a 1½-quart freezer safe baking dish, combine soup, milk, minced onion, and pimentos. Stir in ham, asparagus, and drained pasta. Top with cheese.
    Lay plastic wrap on top of casserole and press lightly to push out air. Seal and label with date. Freeze for up to 3 months.
