How to Make Balsamic Asparagus With Bacon Yum
- Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet.
- Add sliced onions to the skillet with bacon grease and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
- Add trimmed asparagus to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Pour in balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with salt. Stir to coat.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until asparagus is tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in brown sugar and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce slightly thickens.
- Remove from heat and stir in the crispy bacon. Serve immediately.
