Steps:
- On a baking sheet covered in foil, put 6 slices of bacon. Put sheet in cold oven, then turn on preheat to 400. Allow bacon to slowly cook for about 10-12 minutes. It should still be rather rare but partially cooked. Take it out and put it aside. Important: KEEP THE FOIL, do not throw it away - see below.
- Meanwhile, put the other ingredients including asparagus into a gallon size ziplock bag and shake to coat thoroughly.
- Wrap 4-5 stalks of asparagus about halfway down with the bacon. Place seamside down on the same foil and sheet you cooked the bacon on (right on the bacon grease spots). Cook for 10-20 minutes at 400 degrees, depending on how tender you want your asparagus (I like super tender at 20 minutes).

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- 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.
- 3. Combine brown sugar and remaining ingredients in a medium saucepan; heat mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- 4. Pour mixture over asparagus bundles.
- 5. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until spears have begun to wilt and bacon looks fully cooked. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose thick asparagus spears: Thicker spears will be easier to wrap with bacon and will hold up better during cooking.
- Use a sharp knife to trim the asparagus: This will help to prevent the spears from breaking when you wrap them with bacon.
- Don't crowd the asparagus in the pan: Make sure there is enough space between the spears so that they can cook evenly.
- Cook the asparagus over medium heat: This will help to prevent the bacon from burning.
- Baste the asparagus with the melted butter and garlic sauce: This will help to keep the asparagus moist and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Bacon-wrapped garlic asparagus is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The asparagus is tender and flavorful, and the bacon adds a crispy and savory touch. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
