Bacon Wrapped Green Bean Bundles
I’m a little in love with myself right now. Okay, a lot in love with myself. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but these are just so darn amazing. A few months ago, I made a version of these following a recipe I had found, but they were far too sweet for me, because they included too much brown sugar, and no savory additions to counteract the sweetness. I did some research, revamped, and came up with my own recipe, incorporating butter, brown sugar, soy sauce, and minced garlic – and I’m confident I knocked it out of the park.
I’m just saying.
On a less gloating note, this is a delicious “dress up” of roasted green beans, which are almost as good, but not quite – because bacon makes everything better, right?
