Ingredients

  • 36 ounces frozen green beans slightly defrosted
  • 1/2 pound bacon
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  • Place green beans in a single layer in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours or on the counter for 30 minutes to slightly defrost.
  • Cook bacon until beginning to brown, but not crispy. Drain and chop into large pieces.
  • Preheat oven to 350℉. Open packages of green beans and pour into a 9 x 13" baking dish.
    36 ounces frozen green beans
  • Sprinkle bacon pieces over top of the beans.
    1/2 pound bacon
  • In a small bowl mix together the brown sugar, melted butter, soy sauce and garlic powder. Pour over the green beans and bacon.
    1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup butter, 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Notes

  • We prefer Italian green beans because they are a little thicker
  • Fresh green beans work fine too, we prefer not to use canned beans
