green beans w/ bacon bundles
(1 rating)
A few years back I discovered a great green bean recipe that we use for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. Something a little different from the usual (and a little scary)… green – bean – casserole. Don’t get me wrong… my girls love those crunchy little onion things… but you can hold your culinary head high, as you watch these tasty little bundles fly right off the serving platter.

11.Fill a large saucepan with water and bring it to a boil over high heat. 2.Wash and trim the beans. 3.Add the beans to the boiling water and blanch for 3 to 4 minutes, until the beans are pliable but still crunchy. 4.Drain the beans and run them under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels or a clean dish towel and place them in a shallow ovenproof casserole. 5.In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. 6.Stir in the dry mustard, brown sugar, garlic and salt. 7.Pour the butter mixture over the green beans, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. 8.Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. 9.Make a bundle of 8 or 9 beans, wrap half a bacon slice around each bundle, securing with a toothpick, and arrange in a single layer in the same casserole used for marinating. 10.Bake, uncovered, for 45 minutes or until the bacon is cooked and the beans look wrinkled. Serves 6-8. ENJOY!!
