Place asparagus stalks in a 4 cup casserole dish.

Make white sauce (recipe below) using liquid from the asparagus for part of the milk.  Blend in the grated cheese, sugar, salt, pepper and pour over the asparagus.

Mix butter into the bread crumbs and use as a topping over the sauce.

Bake at 350 degrees until the sauce is bubbly and the bread crumbs are golden brown.
