Bacon Wrapped Asparagus

We love our dark green veggies in this household, but asparagus is a touchy subject for me. 
I only like it one way - grilled. Add bacon, and I'll eat just about anything. 

For Mother's Day, we had twice baked potatoes, steak and bacon wrapped asparagus.

To make the bacon wrapped asparagus you'll need:

Asparagus
Bacon
Fresh Lemon Juice
Minced Garlic
Olive Oil

Lightly coat the asparagus with olive oil and sprinkle with minced garlic to taste. Drizzle lemon juice over the asparagus. 
Lay out two overlapped slices of bacon (we used turkey bacon, but you can use the regular, deliciously better piggy kind). Divide your aspargas into four groupings. Place one grouping onto the asparagus at one end; begin rolling until the asparagus is wrapped. Secure with a toothpick or two. 


Place onto medium high grill. Grill until the bacon is done cooking, turning occasionally. 


Easy, peasy done. Cooking times vary of course depending on the temperature of your grill. 
Seriously, this was awesome. I couldn't get enough...I had two bundles! Hope you enjoy this delicious and summer side for the grilling season.
