Bacon Wrapped Asparagus Recipe

Everything tastes better wrapped in bacon. Am I right?!?! This Bacon Wrapped Asparagus is SO good! It is seriously delicious. I could make a meal out of this stuff. We both couldn’t get enough of it. I mean, asparagus and bacon baked in a sweet and savory sauce. How could it not be good?

The asparagus can be wrapped in bacon ahead of time and refrigerated overnight. I wouldn’t pour the sauce over it since the sauce has butter and it might harden in the fridge. The sauce only takes a couple of minutes to make; less time than it takes to preheat the oven.  This Bacon Wrapped Asparagus is a great for a dinner party, cookout or even easy enough for a weeknight. Give it a try; you won’t regret it!
