Blue Ribbon Recipe

Bacon wrapped asparagus is delicious and addictive. This recipe has a thick, sweet sauce that's poured on top and caramelizes on the savory bacon. So good! We bet you won't be able to eat just one. If you want to dress up fresh asparagus, give this side dish a try.

How To Make bacon-wrapped asparagus

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Step 2

Divide asparagus spears into 12 bundles (3-4 pieces each). Wrap 1 piece of bacon around each bundle, starting 1/2" from the bottom of the tips. Secure the bacon-wrapped asparagus with a toothpick. Arrange the bundles in a shallow baking pan.
Step 3

Combine brown sugar and remaining ingredients in a medium saucepan; heat mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Step 4

Pour mixture over asparagus bundles.
Step 5

Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until spears have begun to wilt and bacon looks fully cooked. Enjoy!
