Directions for Asparagus

- Open the package of bacon and then rest the bacon aside the baking sheet on a plate.
- Then pick up one slice of bacon and three pieces of asparagus.

- Set your bacon wrapped asparagus, with the seams down, on the baking sheet.
- Continue wrapping with each of your slices of bacon until all of your asparagus is gone.
Directions for Potato Wedges
- Prepare the potatoes by washing them in the sink colander.
- Cut each potato in half, then in thirds with the knife at a slight angle giving the potato a nice wedge shape.
- Place potato wedges in a large bowl when cut.
- Drizzle oil over potatoes and then stir to coat every wedge.
- Lay three potatoes between each asparagus bundle on the sprayed sheet.
- Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder and chili powder if desired.
- Bake at 400 degrees until bacon is cooked. Flip asparagus halfway so each side can get cooked.
- Turn on the broil setting and then place baking sheet with asparagus wrapped bacon and potatoes in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes to finish off the bacon with a nice sear.
Directions for Crockpot Spareribs
- With a sharp knife, cut open the ribs while on a cutting board to catch juices.
- On the underside of the Spareribs, use a knife and make a small cut on one bone to then release the silver skin.
- Grip the silver skin and gently pull it away from the meat and bones, keep ripping it off until none remain.
- Cut the Spareribs into thirds to fit into a regular sized Crockpot.
- Season both sides with a BBQ seasoning rub.
- Place each section into the Crockpot and then cover with the lid.
- Turn the temperature on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or HIGH for 4 to hours.
- Remove the Spareribs with a metal tong and then place on a baking sheet.
- Turn the oven onto the broil setting and place the baking sheet in the oven, keep watching the ribs so they do not burn, around 1 to 2 minutes.
- Finally, remove from the oven and serve with bacon wrapped asparagus and potato wedges.
