Bacon Wrapped Green Beans

Thanks Laurel for this DELICIOUS way to prepare green beans. Everyone was raving over it!

Ingredients:

1 bag frozen green beans (you can use canned whole but frozen works best) **I used fresh and blanched them first**

1 package bacon with strips cut in half

salt

pepper

garlic powder

brown sugar

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325.

Grease casserole dish with a little bit of oil/butter/pam.

Take a bundle of green beans, about 6 or so, and wrap a half slice of bacon around them, lay in casserole dish with the seam side down.

Repeat until casserole dish is full, you can crowd them pretty tight, just keep the bacon from touching other strips of bacon otherwise they will get stuck together.

Sprinkle entire dish with salt, pepper and garlic powder.

Sprinkle a little brown sugar on the top of each strip of bacon.

Bake for 15-20 minutes (I honestly forget how long to cook it, but when you smell bacon, it's pretty much done.) **I broiled them for a bit at the end to crisp them up**
