Bacon wrapped asparagus

i kinda made this up as i went along and it turned out pretty dang good! i made mine with ham (b/c i do not like bacon one tiny bit) and ross' with bacon. yum, yum!

blanch your asparagus...only like 2 minutes max....remove from water and sprinkle with salt and pepper. tightly wrap a few in bacon to make a little pack. cook in skillet, turning as each side of bacon gets cooked.
