Asparagus Rollups... by Watchlady

1 bunch of Asparagus
24 oz loaf of white bread (not homemade bread)(remove crusts)
8 oz cream cheese
1/4 lb. bacon (fried & chopped up) or you can use the bacon bits

Cook asparagus just until tender--not mushy. Cut into smaller pieces. Mix 8 oz of cream cheese and the bacon. Roll the white bread (make sure crusts are removed) with a rolling pin until flat. Spread some of the cream cheese/bacon mixture on a slice of bread, add about 2-3 pieces of asparagus and roll it up and press by the seams.
Cut the rolled up bread in half. Do this with the remainder of the bread. Right before serving, dip bread in melted butter and broil on a cookie sheet until light golden brown. Makes about 40 rollups.
These appetizers may be made the day before and kept in a covered container in the fridge and just dip in broil when getting ready to serve.
