How to Make Bacon Wrapped Green Beans Bundles
- Preheat your broiler to high.
- Wash and trim 1 pound of green beans. Steam or blanch them until crisp-tender (about 5-7 minutes). Drain well and pat dry.
- In a large bowl, toss the green beans with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
- Cut 6 slices of bacon into thirds, resulting in 18 pieces.
- Wrap 6-8 green beans with each bacon piece, securing with a toothpick. (You'll use about 12-16 toothpicks total).
- Arrange the bacon-wrapped green bean bundles on a broiler pan.
- Sprinkle evenly with 1 tablespoon of packed light brown sugar.
- Broil for 5-7 minutes, or until the sugar melts and the bacon begins to brown. Watch carefully to prevent burning!
- Turn the bundles over and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.
- Broil for another 5-7 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the bundles are browned and bubbly. Internal temperature should reach 165F
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
