This is a super Easy Bacon Wrapped Asparagus Bundles recipe! It only requires 3 ingredients too!Servings: 4 peopleIngredients
- 1 bundle Fresh Asparagus
- 12 oz Bacon Center cut is best
- 1/4 cup Italian Salad Dressing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Rinse and trim the ends of the asparagus. Remove any hard stems on the asparagus stalks too. Generally, the smaller the asparagus stalk the better because it is more tender.
- Divide your asparagus up into equal piles (3 to 8 stalks). Pick the number of bundles you want to do and divide it up as equal as possible.
- Lay 1 asparagus bundle in the center of a slice of bacon. Wrap the bacon around the asparagus bundle and place on a broiler pan. Repeat this step until all your asparagus bundles are wrapped. If you have extra bacon you can cook that on the pan beside the asparagus bundles if you want.
- Sprinkle each bundle equally with Italian Salad Dressing.
- Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes or until the bacon is cooked.
Notes
GRILLING – You can also place these Bacon Wrapped Asparagus Bundles on the grill at your next cookout! Make sure not to put it too close to a really hot spot or open flame on the grill for a long period of time. It will usually take less time on the grill to cook these bundles. Once the asparagus looks like it is starting to wilt a little and the bacon is cooked these will be done.Recipes: Bacon Wrapped Asparagus Bundles

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Rinse and trim the ends of the asparagus. Remove any hard stems on the asparagus stalks too. Generally, the smaller the asparagus stalk the better because it is more tender.
3. Divide your asparagus up into equal piles (3 to 8 stalks). In these pictures we divided our asparagus up into 4 bundles (one for each family member). We have done smaller bundles too. Pick the number of bundles you want to do and divide it up as equal as possible.
4. Lay 1 asparagus bundle in the center of a slice of bacon. Wrap the bacon around the asparagus bundle and place on a broiler pan. Repeat this step until all your asparagus bundles are wrapped. If you have extra bacon you can cook that on the pan beside the asparagus bundles if you want.
