These are so yummy. I had smaller Asparagus so I cooked the bacon for about 10 minutes first (I used turkey bacon and regular bacon) then I cooked olive oil and garlic in a pan and poured it all in a zip lock bag and tossed together. I wrapped the bacon around 4 pieces of the Asparagus and cooked for 10 minutes it was perfect! Everyone loved it and it had suck a nice presentation.

4.5 stars. The only thing I change was halving the oil. I baked them as stated and the bacon was just right but the asparagus was slightly burnt. I think it's because there's not enough oil to coat the asparagus. So may be reducing oil here is not an option if you want the perfect result.

These were fantastic!!!!!!!!!! I loved the bacon and the garlic...mmmmm. I didn't use toothpics to hold the bacon to the asparagus, and I used extra bacon instead of just one slice. I took 2 slices per 4 asparagus and put them in an X fashion. I then took the top and alternate bottom of the bacon and I tied them across the asparagus and I did the same with the other side. Worked wonderfully. Will definitely be a regular staple in my house from now on.

Pairing bacon and asparagus is such a winning idea. Adding garlic is even better. We loved these bundles as a side to our Mustard Lamb Chops (#11581), but could also see these being served as the main course with a salad and rice pilaf. Our garlic did burn a bit as we waited for the bacon to crisp. In the future, we will drizzle the bunches of asparagus with the garlic before wrapping with bacon, in order to keep the tender garlic away from the high heat. I can't wait for my own fresh asparagus to start producing.
