Asparagus Bundles

"My mom gave me this recipe using green beans, but I like it much better with Asparagus. The asparagus is tender, with a slightly sweet, but tangy sauce."

  1. This was an elegant presentation and a tasty side dish for Christmas dinner. Because I can't stand flabby bacon, I partially precooked the bacon, and I have to say that the recipe was fabulous.
     
  2. I'm not sure what went wrong, what with the other glowing reviews. I made this exactly as written, used regular (not thick) bacon, etc. After more than an hour in the oven at 325F the bacon was still not cooked, and the asparagus was destroyed. We tried our best to eat it but had to throw it away and just had eggs and toast. I'm sorry. I don't ususally feel this way about a recipe. Especially one that looks so good!
     
  3. Served with eggs and toast points, this was the star of our Sunday breakfast! I did use a slice and half bacon per bundle and these were gone before anything else was even touched. This delicious recipe goes into my permanet file and will be repeated often. Thanks for a great recipe.
     
  4. This is very good and very festive. I made this exactly as stated for my husbands birthday breakfast. He loved it! Made for Pac Fall 2007.
     
  5. This was very good and it took minimal effort to prepare. The sauce was terrific. Make sure you don't use thick sliced bacon or else it will take too long to cook and the asparagus will be overdone. (I learned this from experience!) It was a hit with the whole family even the little ones.

I am always on the go and rarely have time to make a full four course meal. But I like to stop and smell the bread baking every once in a while. I run a support group for LGBTQ youth and that keeps me on my toes. I never know when one or 12 will show up on my door step and when they do, they are ALWAYS hungry!
