The popular saying, “bacon makes everything better” has led to ingenious innovations like the bacon weave and even inspired bacon desserts. As dedicated bacon enthusiasts, we’re working hard to test this hypothesis by wrapping everything in bacon before grilling it to crispy, salty perfection on the Traeger. Bacon Wrapped Asparagus gets our stamp of porky approval as a crowd-pleasing appetizer or a star side dish.
