Green Bean Wraps


 




 
 
 
 
 
 
•4 (15-oz.) cans of whole green beans ~ not “cut”, not “french-style”
•bacon strips, cut in half (I use my kitchen scissors.)
•1 cup melted butter...
•1 cup packed brown sugar
•1/2 tsp. garlic salt
•1 tsp. soy sauce

Gather 10 beans into a bundle. Wrap bacon around beans and secure with a toothpick. Arrange in a 9×13 pan.

Combine melted butter, brown sugar, garlic salt, and soy sauce in a bowl. Mix well. Pour over beans.

Bake at 375° for 45 minutes – 1 hour, or until bacon is cooked.

Using fresh green beans would be healthier
