Notes
- I find that thicker asparagus stalks work best here. If you use the thin ones, they may get mushy by the time the bacon cooks through.
- This recipe works best with regular cut bacon; thick cut bacon takes a lot longer to cook and you run the risk of your asparagus overcooking. Another option is to par-cook the bacon, then wrap the asparagus.
