This is a recipe that my mom (who is a fantastic cook) passed on to me. It is something we like to serve a lot at holidays because they are a little bit more special than just your typical green beans...and they can be mostly made up ahead of time and baked just before serving. Enjoy!
Green Bean Bundles
24 fresh or frozen green beans approximately the same length.
2-3 T butter, melted 4 T brown sugar
garlic salt to taste 2 pieces Bacon
Trim and wash green beans. Boil in boiling water until beans are tender crisp, making sure not to overcook as they will continue to cook in the oven . Spoon beans into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and preserve the color. Once cool, drain. Cut the bacon slices in half. Wrap each half slice of bacon around the center of 5-6 green beans bundled together. Place on a baking sheet with the end part of bacon on bottom. Repeat until you have 4 bundles. Place 1 T brown sugar in the center of bacon slice on top of each bundle trying to keep most of the sugar on top. Drizzle melted butter over bundles and sprinkle generously with garlic salt. Bake 15-30 minutes in an oven preheated to 425 degrees until bacon is crisp, but green beans are not shriveled.
**This serve 4 people with 1 bundle each.
