🥓 Smoked Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus with SPG Gold

There’s something downright irresistible about crispy bacon wrapped around tender asparagus. Add a kiss of smoke and a hit of SPG Gold, and you’ve got a side dish that might just steal the show from the main course. Whether you're feeding a crowd or just treating yourself, these bundles are easy to prep, quick to cook, and packed with flavor.

This one’s a favorite around our place — especially when we fire up the smoker for a big weekend cook. The salty crunch of bacon with that fresh green bite of asparagus? Pure magic. Let’s dive in.

🔥 Ingredients

• 1 lb fresh asparagus (woody ends trimmed)
• 12 slices of thin-cut bacon (not thick cut)
• Olive oil spray or drizzle
• BBQ by Biggs SPG Gold All-Purpose Seasoning

👨‍🍳 Instructions

🧠 Pro Tips

• Use thin-cut bacon so it crisps up in the smoker. Thick bacon may stay rubbery.
• Don’t skip the rack. That airflow under the bacon makes all the difference.
• Want extra heat? Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or try a spicy rub.
