Bacon Wrapped Asparagus

Our good friend “Sissy” told us about this way to do asparagus and we think of her and thank her every time we have it. Bacon Wrapped Asparagus is way too easy, given how good it is.

This is how Sissy taught us to make Bacon Wrapped Asparagus

Preheat the oven to 500F.  Cut about an inch off the bottom or stump end of the stalks. Then thoroughly rinse the asparagus under cold running water. Shake the water off. If you don’t want to bake but still want some good asparagus here is an easy asparagus in a skillet recipe.

Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Wrap a slice of bacon around each stalk, spiraling from one end to the other and spread them out on the sheet. If all you could find at the store were skinny stalks just wrap 2 or 3 of them with 1 slice of bacon. Put the sheet on a middle or upper rack in the oven. The lower rack might char the bottom of the bacon but, they all would still get eaten! Bake at 500 for about 10 minutes or until the bacon is done the way YOU want it. Then serve up your Bacon Wrapped Asparagus!

And, be ready to share Sissy’s recipe.
