Asparagus wrapped in Bacon!


Sorry about the lack of posts lately. Have been busy with my Tastefully Simple Business and a nine day Garden and Home Show here in Denver. Lots of prep work, working the show, and next week wrapping up. We haven't had a sit down dinner together for several days. Tonight was our night to just catch up on life, eat dinner, and be together for the evening.

I was poking around on Pinterest this morning and found this great recipe. The original called for green beans wrapped in bacon but I thought asparagus would be better plus I had that on hand. This was amazing and we will for sure be making this again!

Asparagus wrapped in Bacon

Ingredients:
1 lb asparagus
6 slices bacon
2 TBS butter (earth balance)
1 TBS brown sugar
pinch of garlic
salt and pepper

Directions:
* Divide asparagus into six even groups. Wrap each grouping in bacon.
* Place on a pan and cover with glaze.
* To make glaze combine butter, brown sugar, garlic, salt and pepper together. Heat until blended and glaze the asparagus/bacon.
* Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes, or until bacon is crisp.
