Bacon Grilled Asparagus - A great side dish to a meal!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I tried this recipe for my family and my daughters helped prepared the meal. Both of my girls and monitored the grill and I... supervised them. My family LOVED the bacon and the aspargus. It did not burn. We will definitely cook this meal again. We did not use the butter sauce, it and iwas delicious! Hats off to Pat and Gina; I love your show!!!!! Bamberg, South Carolina Read more

Good for non-asparagus lovers...
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I LOVE asparagus and this seemed too sweet to me- the bbq butter overpowered the lovely asparagus flavor. But for those who... aren't wild about asparagus this might be a good way to learn to love it!Read more

My husband grew up in the sandhills and picked asparagus wild. It was a family fav. He loves this twist on his beloved... vegie! Way to go once again, Neely's! You are a darling couple and I am devoted to your cooking and your show! Keep it coming! Barb in NebraskaRead more

Loved This!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I agree with Gail! Anonymous is a stick in the mud! We thought this was a great new way to do our favorite veggie! I... roasted them in the oven only because it is only 10 degrees today and I was not firing up the grill today! If anonymous is so critical may they should not watch the Neelys. It is one thing to rate the recipe but another to "mock"! Maybe if more couples cooked, kissed, and touched more together we would all be happier! I love watching them together and our kitchen is a heated environment as well and all the heat does not only come from the stove! Enjoy! Susan Boston, NYRead more

My little girl is very picky and it's hard to get her to eat vegetables. I tried this recipe and was surprised when my... daughter not only liked it but asked for more.Read more
