This recipe for bacon wrapped green beans makes for the best appetizer or side dish! Bite size green bean bundles with a sweet brown sugar and butter glaze - so simple to make ahead.
Drain all three cans of green beans and pour contents into a large bowl.
Cut bacon slices into thirds.
Take a cut strip of bacon and gently stretch; lay flat on a cutting board. On one end of the bacon slice, pile 5-6 green beans. Gently roll the bacon around the green beans to make an individual bundle.
Place bundles in a single layer in a glass baking dish.
Microwave butter in 30 second increments until blended and smooth. Stir in garlic powder and brown sugar.
Spoon glaze over green bean bundles in the baking dish, making sure glaze covers each bundle.
Bake the bundles in an oven at 425 degrees for 40 minutes, until tops of the bacon start to brown. About 10 minutes before serving, drain off almost all of the fat - this will allow the bundles to get nice and crispy.
Notes
If you would like to make this recipe ahead of time, place green bean bundles in an airtight container and refrigerate. When you're ready to cook, place bundles in a glass baking dish and cover with glaze; bake according to cook times in the recipe.
