Ingredients
- 56 ounces french style green beans drained, rinsed
- 12 ounces bacon cut into bite-sized pieces
- 5 tablespoons butter
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray.
- Spread the green beans in an even layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Top with bite-sized pieces of bacon.
- In the microwave (or on the stove top) melt the butter. Add the brown sugar and spices and stir to combine. Be sure the majority of the brown sugar is dissolved.
- Pour the butter/sugar over the green beans and bacon, trying to get as even as possible.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes.
- Remove from the oven. Uncover and drain the majority of the liquid.
- Return to the oven, leaving uncovered, and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until the bacon is cooked and crispy.
- Remove and serve!
Notes
- Drain and rinse canned green beans well so the casserole isn't watery.
- Blanch fresh green beans for the brightest color and best texture.
- Set a baking sheet on the rack below in case the glaze bubbles over.
- Drain most of the liquid before the final uncovered bake so the bacon crisps.
- Top with French fried onions for extra crunch.
