This year's Wisconsin winter is old and I'm over it. And one of the first fresh tastes of spring is asparagus and I'm all about that...even if it has to come from the store instead of my garden for a couple more months.
My family loves asparagus. And everyone loves bacon. Asparagus + Bacon = perfection.
(Recipe Adapted Slightly from Tastefully Simple)
30 stalks asparagus (rinses and trimmed)
5 pieces of bacon (cut in half)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
4 tablespoons olive oil
1-2 tablespoons Garlic Pepper Seasoning (this is an amazing and versatile TS product!)
Preheat oven to 450 degrees and line a baking sheet with foil. Wrap 3 stalks of asparagus with each 1/2 slice of bacon and set them on the baking sheet seam-side down. Sprinkle brown sugar over the bacon each bundle. Drizzle the whole dish with oil. Sprinkle generously with Garlic Pepper Seasoning. Bake about 20 minutes or until bacon is lightly crisp. If bacon is not cooked crisp, turn on broiler for 3-5 minutes. Serve hot.
So, so good. And while a little bit putzy, this really isn't hard to make and does come together super fast.
