I made this as a side last night and it turned out great! I'm only sharing this recipe as a blog because it's a little unusual and I like the title:

*Heat a large iron skillet in a 425 degree oven.
*Rinse and break the hard ends from a pound of asparagus. Dust them lightly with a mix of light brown sugar and freshly ground sea salt and black pepper. Add crisp-cooked bacon pieces to taste.
*Add a tablespoon of butter to the hot skillet and throw in the asparagus.
Roll the asparagus every few minutes for even cook and coverage in resulting glaze.
Ready in 10-15 minutes depending on thickness.

Don't knock it until you've tried it. Kids love it!
