Recipe Instructions

Heat oven to 375 degrees. In saucepan, melt butter, stir in flour and cook until thick. Gradually stir in milk and cook until bubbly and thickened. Stir in 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, salt and pepper. Remove from heat.

Spread the 2 3/4- by 3 1/2-inch slices of Spam in bottom of a 9- by 13-inch baking pan. Put Spam in oven for 5 minutes to soften for easier rolling.

Cook asparagus spears for 4 minutes. Cool slightly and place 3 spears on each Spam slice. Roll up. Fasten with a toothpick, if needed. Place in the pan. Cover with cheese sauce. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Sprinkle with crumbs. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes.
