Asparagus & Mushrooms

One kid loves mushrooms and one kid loves asparagus: this seems like a match made in heaven!  It has a very nice flavor, especially if you like bacon.

3-4 Slices of Bacon
1/2 Tbsp Butter
8oz Sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms
1-2 lbs Asparagus, cut in quarters or thirds
1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
1 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar

In a good sized skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until nice and crispy.  Remove bacon but reserve the grease in the pan. Set the bacon aside.

Add the butter and mushrooms to the bacon grease.  Saute for about 2 minutes and then add the asparagus.  If the asparagus is thin, lower the heat a little to even out cooking time with the mushrooms.  If the asparagus is thicker then keep the heat on medium.  Cook for about 5 minutes and then add the soy sauce and balsamic vinegar.  Mix around and let asparagus cook until tender/done. 

Just before serving, crumble the bacon over top of the asparagus.
