Sautéed Asparagus with Bacon and Dijon

This sautéed asparagus with bacon and dijon recipe from Everyday Food, couldn’t have been easier to make.  I loved the crisp-tender asparagus with the salty bacon and the spicy, tangy kick from the Dijon. This easy asparagus side dish recipe took minutes to prepare, smelled fantastic, and tasted even better. The whole family liked this tasty asparagus and thought it paired nicely with flank steak and garlic rice.
