Ingredients

  • 1 bunch of asparagus washed and tough ends trimmed off
  • 4-6 pieces of cooked and crisped bacon I used microwave bacon, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat a cast iron skillet over med-high heat and add the olive oil.
  • Put chopped asparagus into the pan and cook for about 10 minutes stirring occasionally.
  • When it is cooked to your liking, add the chopped bacon and cook another minute or two.
  • Note: You can cook the bacon in the same cast iron skillet and then cook asparagus in it using some of the bacon fat. I used microwave bacon to cut down on prep time.
