Little Bundle of Joy

Had you there for a minute didn't I? The little bundle of joy I so refer to is a green bean bundle! Oh my goodness...this bundle is SOOOO delicious! Made with frozen green beans from my garden it was yummy...now I can't wait until I have FRESH green beans this summer....do you think my kids would mind green bean bundles EVERY NIGHT? That's how good these are.

Now, for the recipe.....because I'm nice like that. ;-)

Bacon-Wrapped Green Beans
Ingredients
3/4 pound fresh green beans
4 bacon strips
3 T. butter, melted
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp. garlic salt
1/8 tsp. soy sauce

Directions
Place beans in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, for 8 minutes or until crisp-tender. Meanwhile, in a skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until cooked but not crisp, about 3 minutes. Remove to paper towels.

Drain beans; place about 12 beans on each bacon strip. Wrap bacon around beans and secure with a toothpick. Place on an ungreased baking sheet.

In a small bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, garlic salt, and soy sauce; brush over bundles. Bake at 400 for 10-15 minutes or until bacon is crisp.

Yield 4 servings.
