½french fried onions + extra handful to sprinkle on top of the mini pies
1package of store bought pie crust
4" biscuit or cookie cutterI used a large glass
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Using the 4" biscuit/cookie cutter, cut the store bought pie crust into 4" circles - I was able to get (12) 4" pie dough circles from a top and bottom crust by cutting the circle as close together as possible. Gently press the mini crusts into the muffin tins. Bake on 375 degrees for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven heat to 350 degrees.
Place the fresh cut asparagus pieces in a medium size microwave dish. Add about 1" of water to the bottom of the dish and steam in the microwave for 3-4 minutes or until forkable.
In a medium size bowl, combine the french fried onions, cream of mushroom soup, shredded cheese and the steamed asparagus - mix well (see photo).
Scoop the casserole mixture into the mini pie cups - about ⅓ cup in each and sprinkle some extra french fried onions on top of each.
