Green Bean Bundles

Posted by Lori:

This recipe looks fancy, but is simple to make.  There are a lot of different varieties of the same recipe on the internet, so you can easily adjust ingredients to your liking.  I bought fresh, organic whole green beans (they are thin and long).  They come packaged, not loose.

Green Bean Bundles

1 pound fresh green beans –  (thin/young)
Approximately 1/2 pound of bacon – slice bacon in half
1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
a few dashes of pepper

toothpicks

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Boil a big pot of water.  Place green beans in boiling water for 3 minutes.  Remove the green beans and dry them off.  Wrap 10 green beans with bacon and bundle them together by wrapiing one piece of the halved bacon around them.  Secure bacon with a tooth pick.  Place bundles in 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Repeat until you run out of green beans or bacon.


In a small saucepan combine butter, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and pepper, and mix until the butter and brown sugar has blended. Drizzle butter/brown sugar mixture over each green bean bundle. Cover with foil and bake for about 45 minutes.
