One of my sorority sisters served these at a dinner party over thanksgiving break and I knew I had to try to make them ASAP! shout out to Katie Hardaway...best dinner party ever (esp the dare portion!)
I found this recipe on one of my fave blogs How Sweet It Is.
Green Bean Bacon Bundles
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans (I bought mine at our local farmers market but whole foods works too!)
- 10-12 slices of thick cut bacon
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (love being home and having my mothers garlic mincer!)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
1. Preheat oven 400 and spray non stick pan
2. Snap the ends of the beans and wash them (such a mindless activity but always fun! I used to always do this as a child for my mom and grandmother)
3. Wrap bacon around bundles of 5 or 6 beans. Lay the bundle bacon seam side down to hold it together.
4. In a sauce pan over low heat combine butter brown sugar and garlic (this was never a combo I thought I would experience but it may have been one of the best smelling things I have ever experienced)
5. Using a brush, brush the mixture over the top of each bundle
6. Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes
7. Remove foil and bake for 10-15 minutes more until bacon gets crispy
I served them with crab cakes with spicy mayo (here's my recipe) and mashed potatoes and gravy (I'll link my recipe soon)
yuuummmm!!!
