Ingredients

1.5 pounds asparagus
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons garlic minced
4 slices bacon chopped
1 cup Asiago cheese grated
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Get your grill ready.
Remove the woody end of the asparagys by taking the end of the asparagus between your thumb and forefinger and bend until it breaks. The reason this is the easiest way is that the asparagus automatically breaks just where the woody part ends and the fresh, juicy asparagus begins.
Create a tinfoil "tray" by curving up the ends. Place the asparagus in the tinfoil tray and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle the minced garlic over the top, add the bacon, asiago cheese and salt and pepper and toss everything to coat.
Place the tinfoil tray on the BBQ pit and grill for 5 minutes with lid closed. Open lid, toss everything again using long tongs and grill another 5 minutes with lid opened.
Remove from heat and serve immediately.
