Never any left-overs when I make this. Thin sliced bacon works better than the thick slided. Enjoy.

I've made this before and am actually making it again tonight. I have been putting bacon on the grill for awhile now, and this is one recipe that truly brings out the bacon flavor!

I also made this using 3 or 4 spears. Very bad after my husband brought them in from the grill. An arguement ensued and we will never make again, in his words "never put bacon on the grill" the bacon was nice and crisp, but the asparagus was carbon and very tough. And yes he followed the grilling instructions.

I made this last night wrapping one slice of bacon around 4 asparagus spears. Very delicious. Will have to cook slightly longer for my husband's taste.

This is soooo good. We usually put 4 spears together and wrap one piece of bacon around it and it retains its heat longer. Just cook a few minutes longer. Yummy.
