I love asparagus and didn’t really think it could get any tastier. That is until I introduced it to my friend- bacon. Over the top delicious wrapped up in a neat little package on your plate. They are a perfect summer side with anything from steak to fried chicken, and will disappear quickly (so make sure you get yours before serving). While I have not yet tried this on the grill but I bet it would be amazing and plan on doing it this way very soon.
Bacon Wrapped Asparagus Bundles
Ingredients:
1 bundle of fresh Asparagus
½ package of bacon
garlic salt and cracked black pepper to taste
Directions:
Grasp one piece of asparagus at both ends and bend until it snaps naturally somewhere above the white end. This is your marker for where to cut the rest. Pile up your bunch including the one you snapped and cut all asparagus spears to the same length.
Slice bacon pieces in half.
Take 4-5 spears and pile them together, wrap half piece of bacon around bundle and place it in a deep baking pan (this is to contain grease spatter).
Continue wrapping asparagus bundles until done.
Season to taste with garlic salt, and cracked black pepper
Place pan under the broiler on high in your oven until bacon is crisp and asparagus tips are browned.
