Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans Canned French-style green beans (drained well)
- 6 slices Bacon (cooked until crispy)
- 1/2 cup Brown sugar (provides sticky sweetness)
- 1/4 cup Butter (melted)
- 1/4 cup Soy sauce (low-sodium, if preferred)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F. This ensures even cooking and the perfect glaze on your beans.
- Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and crumble them. (Common mistake: Overcooking can make it too crunchy; aim for a balance.)
- Melt the Butter: In a bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, soy sauce, and garlic powder until blended.
- Mix Ingredients: In a baking dish, combine the drained green beans, crumbled bacon, and the brown sugar mixture. Toss to coat well.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
Notes
For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free soy sauce. Fresh green beans can be used instead of canned for better texture.
