This recipe, compliments of my mother, is absolutely amazing. It’s a great spin on the usual ways to present asparagus and is a sure fire way to get your kids to eat their veggies! And although this may not be the healthiest, you can’t argue with the taste. Plus, everyone deserves a cheat meal every now and then.

Ingredients:

• Bacon (6-8 slices)
• 1 asparagus bundle, about 30 stalks each
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 tbls soy sauce
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper

Wrap bacon around 5 pieces of asparagus each, set them on a greased baking sheet.

Combine all other ingredients in a small saucepan on medium heat. Stir until boiling and caramel sauce is formed. Pour sauce on bacon wrapper asparagus. Place in oven at 400° for 25-30 minutes, Enjoy!
