This was delicious and so easy to make. The only change I made was to double the garlic powder because we are garlic freaks! This is a definite keeper. Thanks so much for a great recipe.

fantastic. I used more garlic powder (next time I'll use fresh) and forgot the cayenne, so that went in at the end... (I also used more like two or three pinches.) I used thinly sliced deli ham, too--which next time I will chop instead of tear.

This is delicious. Asparagus is ectremely cheap at the moment and this is a great recipe for getting the kids to eat it. I used fresh garlic instead of garlic powder and everyone loved this dish. Thanks for posting.
