I used to make something like this, but used prosciutto to wrap each piece of asparagus, drizzled with olive oil, and just put them in the oven. Frankly, I think maple bacon would be better. :) I'll give this one thumbs up, so as not to mess up the rating, though I don't think I would make it on the grill.

Haven't followed this recipe before but after eating this at Disneyland many years ago had to try it myself. I do slightly precook my asparagus because the bacon cooks quick and the dripping cause flames, I line mine up on a fish rack for BBQing that clamps shut and if makes flipping very easy and you don't need toothpicks to keep the bacon on. I love it with fresh lemon that I squeeze over it when on my plate, Yum!

Awesome!!! I pre-cook the bacon in the microwave for a couple of minutes, still pliable. Otherwise, the asparagus is cooked and the bacon is still a bit raw in places. This way, some of the fat cooks off and you don't have the flare-ups on the grill and burn it.

I marinate asparagus spears in Italian dressing for a few hours before wrapping in bacon, then sprinkle with Parmesean cheese after taking them off the grill.

I have made this and love it, but also like to add a bit of a twist to it. I blanche the asparagus for a few seconds,wrap in maple bacon, place on a broiler pan and brush with melted butter with a touch of brown sugar added. I then broil till bacon is of desired doneness. Remove from oven and sprinkle with toasted almonds and return to broiler just long enough to heat the almonds. This is wonderful and never has leftovers.

The prep seemed daunting, but was actually very easy! My husband loved, which truly speaks volumes, he generally dislikes vegetables. We can not wait to make this again, and I recommend this this to everyone. They taste fantastic cooled as well, and this is a wonderful idea for potlucks and picnics too.

Since all of my family are asparagus lovers I tried this recipe for a family brunch when it was first published in 2005. It was such a hit that it has been requested at every family gathering since then, and sometimes in between. When ready to serve I sprinkle it with sea salt. mmmmmm GOOD!

I have made this in the oven several times and I bake it at 400-425 degrees. It's a great recipe.

Has anyone tried making this in the oven? what temp and how long is my question. I'm also not a fan of bacon on the grill becasue I tend to burn it.

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.
