Easy Bacon Wrapped Asparagus
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
Bacon Wrapped Asparagus
Our family enjoys fruits and vegetables. We like our produce with breakfast, take it in our lunches, and have it at dinner too. Asparagus is one we really like and we love finding new ways to cook it. Whether it is baked or grilled these Bacon Wrapped Asparagus Bundles come out very tasty. It is easy to assemble and the kids love eating this delicious vegetable.

- 1 Bundle of Fresh Asparagus
- 12 oz package Bacon (we like the center cut with more meat)
- Dash of Salt
- Dash of Pepper
- 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Butter or Margarine, melted
- Sesame Seeds, optional
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.
5. Sprinkle each bundle with a dash of salt and pepper. Mix the brown sugar and melted butter or margarine together and pour over the asparagus bundles. Top with sesame seeds.
5. Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes or until the bacon is cooked.*

Recipe: Easy Summer Vegetables
Grilled Vegetables I love this time of year as the fresh veggies begin pouring in from the garden. It has been wonderful eating the vegetables and finding great ways to eat them. One of our family’s favorite ways to enjoy them is on the grill. Our family has tried many different vegetable recipes and this is my favorite because it is so easy and quick. It’s a great recipe to use when you have guests coming over for dinner. You can use a variety of fresh vegetables. I like to use the fresh veggies that we have in the fridge put into the recipe but you really can use any ones that you enjoy.
Easy Summer Vegetables:
- 1 cup sliced Carrots
- 1 cup sliced Zucchini
- 1 cup sliced Summer Squash
- 1 cup sliced Tomatoes
- 1 cup fresh Mushrooms
- 1/2 cup sliced Onions
- 1/4 cup Italian Dressing
Slice the vegetables into 1 inch pieces and put them into a bowl. Pour 1/4 cup of Italian Dressing over the vegetables and stir until evenly coated. You can add a little more or less dressing depending on the amount of vegetables you want. Let them marinate for a few minutes, pour them onto the vegetable grate on the grill, cook until tender but still crisp.
You can add whatever vegetables you want and substitute, for example if you do not have zucchini but have asparagus or peppers add a cup of them instead. The vegetables have great flavor and are a hit throughout the grilling season.
