We like recipes that are simple but elevated, and these green beans fit the bill. This recipe scales up perfectly for a party or holiday.
Ingredients:
- One bag of frozen, steam-in-the bag, whole green beans, 10-16 ounces
- 1/4 cup of real bacon bits
- or chopped cooked bacon
- 3 tbsp. butter
- 1 tbsp. brown sugar, white sugar or sugar substitute such as Splenda
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- Salt and pepper
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Steam beans in bag in microwave for about a minute less than recommended on package. Drain and add to sheet pan.
- Melt butter in a small bowl then mix in sweetener and garlic powder. Toss green beans in butter, coating well.
- Top with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake for 20 minutes on sheet pan, then carefully stir in bacon and bake for 10-15 more minutes or until roasted to desired doneness. We like them really roasted until the edges are a bit crispy.
