Wash and trim the ends of the asparagus. Cut the spears into 2-inch pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
Spray the inside of your crock pot with non-stick cooking spray.
Layer half of the asparagus pieces on the bottom of the crock pot.
Spoon half of the soup and cheese mixture over the asparagus, spreading it evenly.
Repeat the layering process with the remaining asparagus and soup mixture.
In a small bowl, mix the crushed ritz crackers with the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the buttery cracker mixture over the top of the casserole.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low for 4 hours, or until the asparagus is tender but not mushy.
Serve warm as a side dish. Enjoy!
