I make this a lot and I used Peppercorn Ranch Dressing instead of regular Ranch. The first time my I got my Husband to eat asparagus was with this recipe.

This was a quite good way to prepare asparagus. I felt the ranch dressing went quite well with the asparagus and I liked the crunch of the crackers. It took a little longer than 15 minutes.
