Jay's and Carolyn's Green Bean Bundles

Recipe Information
Source: Karen "Sissy" Wommack 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!!
