Thanksgiving guests will be pleasantly surprised when you serve these fancy looking green beans instead of plain old boring green beans. I hope you enjoy this simple and delicious recipe. It is one of my family’s favorites and hopefully your family will love it too!”

Ingredients:
Fresh or frozen whole green beans (Enough to serve your guests)

1 package of bacon (cut strips in half)

Brown sugar

Soy sauce

Preheat oven to 350. Line a cookie sheet or baking pan with aluminum foil and lightly spray with cooking oil.

Make a small bundle of green beans (about 7-8 Beans in each) and wrap the bacon strip around them. Lay on prepared pan. Then sprinkle each bundle with soy sauce. Top each bundle with 1/4 teaspoon brown sugar. You can adjust soy sauce and brown sugar to your liking. Place in oven and bake 20-25 minutes or until bacon is cooked and Beans are fork tender.
