Canned whole green beans can be used; just save the juice that you drain off the beans. Heat it and add the bouillon cube to it. any flavor of jelly can be used, but I like the apple jelly.

    Drain the beans before baking in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 45 - 50 minutes or until the bacon is done.
