Green Bean Bundles with Bacon and Brown Sugar

Yes, its a bit of prep, but the results are amazing. You have to be careful with timing though. The green beans cook quickly. It easy to overcook, so keep an eye on it toward the end. Your choice of bacon matters. A stronger flavored applewood bacon might overwhelm the dish. Its a nice presentation for a holiday meal.

I made this for Christmas dinner, but would make a few modifications next time. I used haricot verts and turkey bacon to cut down on the fat. After blanching the green beans I wrapped the raw turkey bacon around the bundles and it cooked just fine. I would probably use 1/2 the amount of butter, salt, garlic powder and brown sugar. It just needs a drizzle to add flavor...will definitely make again.

I made these with haricots verts and turkey bacon, and they were amazing. I love thick-cut pork bacon, but for the sake of healthier eating during the holidays I used turkey bacon. And because turkey bacon is thinner and cooks faster, I was able to skip the pan-frying step. Definitely making again.

I made this for Thanksgiving and it was a major hit! The beans were tender, the bacon added a nice touch and the brown sugar added that little something extra. Make this, everyone will love it. Ive recommended this recipe to a number of people.

I prepared the green bean bundles with bacon for Thanksgiving dinner and didnt prepare enough! Delicious combinations of flavors and nice presentation.

This recipe is awesome! Its easy to make and looks great when youre finished. We made it for Thanksgiving and it quickly disappeared. It would also make a fun holiday party recipe. These yummy green beans are now a household favorite!

This is a fantastic recipe - easy to make with an upscale presentation... not to mention it is truly yummy. I served this at a family dinner and everyone asked for seconds. You can make this in advance for a dinner party and simply slip in the oven. This one is a keeper.
