Serves/Makes:Dozen or so

Ingredients

• 3 15 oz (420 grm). cans of whole green beans, drained
• 1/2 cup (125 ml) butter
• 1/2 cup (125 ml) brown sugar, packed down
• 1/2 tsp (2 ml). garlic powder
• bacon slices, not the thick kind

Preparation

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees (175 C.).
• Spray a 9 x 13 pan with non-stick cooking spray.
• Cut the bacon slices in half, and then put them in the microwave and cook about 2 minutes (just to get them going, they will still be limp).
• Let the bacon cool a little.
• Drain the beans, take about 10 of the beans in your hand and put them together side by side and make them into a bundle.
• Take one of the half pieces of bacon and wrap it around the bundle of beans.
• Secure the bacon ends together with a toothpick (Note: if the 1/2 is not large enough, then put 2 halves together to make it go around and secure all with the toothpick).
• Place the bundles into the prepared baking dish, side by side.
• Take the butter, sugar and garlic powder and put in a small pan
• Cook over medium heat until the sugar has melted, stirring often to make sure it doesn't burn.
• Pour butter and sugar mixture over the beans.
• Put them in the oven and cook for about 30 minutes.
• Serve.

Comments

Note: You can make the bundles ahead and put in the refrigerator, then when ready to use, make the sauce and pour over them and then bake as directed.

Note: Sometimes the beans break apart while you are trying to make the bundles, I just patch them up as good and I can and wrap the bacon around them and secure them and that usually fixes things, then sometimes I just throw those beana away, depends on my mood. ha.

Note: You can use fresh green beana, but you will need to cook them a little to to get them going.

My buddies the Sieners fixed these at one of our get togethers, and they were a hit. I just fixed them for my Office Christmas Party this last Saturday nite and they were a hit again. Love them, and the beans too. ha.

Enjoy!!
