3 slices bacon, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons butter
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
1 shallot, thinly sliced
1 pinch salt, or to taste
1 pinch ground black pepper, or to taste
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
YUM! I did use a bit more butter and a little bacon grease. These are really flavorful! I cooked them a little longer b/c we like them on the softer side. I actually forgot to use the parm. on top, but we really didn't miss it (I will use it next time though). This is a keeper...Thanks for sharing. :)
5 stars for flavor but 1 1/2 tsp of butter was def not enough. I ended up throwing in 2 Tbl more & my shallots & asparagus still wanted to stick & burn. I think I'll add a bit of Evoo next time. Thanks, Kathi!!

When I tasted this dish I quickly exclaimed, "slap my momma!" This was an easy, quick and very delicious dish. I will definitely be doing it again! I listened to the previous reviewers and decided not to drain the bacon grease at all (I used a very meaty bacon). What more can be said but thanks for sharing!
Delicious! I followed the recipe pretty much exactly. Only adjustment I made was use 5 Slices of Bacon, 1.5 Table Spoons of Margarine, drizzled just a tad of EVOO, and used Shaved Parmesan. Definitely doing this again soon!
Made this last night and it was soooo yummy! I doubled the recipe for my family of 5 and there was none left! Definitely a keeper.
Delicious! This will be a regular side at dinner.
used pancetta bacon and it was awesome!!! keeper
