Cook 1 lb of bacon, leaving it limp and not crisp. Set on paper towels to cool and drain. Set aside
Take 3 to 4 asparagus at a time and place together, starting from the end, spiral one piece of bacon across the bundle to the top of the asparagus, secure with a toothpick or lay, seam side down in the casserole dish. Continue with all the bacon, asparagus bundles are wrapped in the dish
In a medium pot add 1 stick of butter, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic salt, black pepper. Bring to a boil, while stirring. Remove from heat. Pour over top the bundles. Bake about 25 minutes on 350 deg.
