Trisha Yearwood's Asparagus Bundles

One of my favorite cooking shows is "Trisha's Southern Kitchen" which airs Saturday mornings at 10:30 on Food Network. I love her no-nonsense approach to cooking and her Southern style. All of her recipes look amazing, but I knew I just had to try her recipe for Asparagus Bundles. If you love asparagus (and even if you don't) this is a must-try recipe. It is amazing!

Asparagus Bundles

recipe from Home Cooking with Trisha Yearwood 2010



2 lbs. fresh asparagus, ends trimmed
6 slices bacon, cut in half
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 stick butter
1 T. soy sauce
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
1/4 tsp. pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Divide asparagus into 12 bundles. Carefully wrap with bacon and secure with a toothpick. Lay bundles in a baking dish. In a saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter, soy sauce, garlic salt, and pepper. Bring mixture to boil and pour over asparagus.


Bake for about 25 minutes or until asparagus is wilted and bacon looks fully cooked. Remove toothpicks before serving.
This dish is delicious!! [Nathan rated it one of the best dishes I've ever cooked!]
I have made these numerous times since discovering them a few years ago. You must try them!
