BACON BROWN SUGAR GREEN BEANS
Don't let the name discourage you! With both bacon and brown sugar, this side dish is sure to please. I'm asked to bring these sweet green beans every year to family functions (and birthdays too). **TIPS** I cook the bacon pieces in a skillet until about halfway done before removing from heat and placing on paper towels to help absorb some of the grease. Skipping this process can cause your dish to be exceedingly greasy. If you desire crispier bacon, cook the pieces just a little longer than halfway done, since fully cooking the bacon pieces prior to baking will cause them to burn from the extra cooking in the oven. If you'd like the bacon pieces more tender rather than crispy, you can cover the dish with foil during all or part of the cooking, depending on preference :)

Steps:
- 1. Place beans in a large pot and cover beans with water. Cover pot and bring to a boil over high heat, Boil until beans are tender, but not soggy ( to the point they can be easily pierced with a fork.) Drain pot and rinse beans in cold water. Set aside.
- 2. In a skillet, cook bacon over medium high heat 6-8 minutes until fully cooked, but not yet crispy. (do not drain grease.)
- 3. Add brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and garlic to the pan and stir until all the ingredients are combined. Add green beans and continue to stir until sauce is bubbly and green beans are thoroughly coated in the sauce (4-6 minutes).
- 4. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve hot.
Tips:
- Choose the right bacon. For the best flavor, use thick-cut bacon that is not too salty. You can also use turkey bacon or a vegetarian bacon substitute if you prefer.
- Trim the green beans. Before cooking, trim the ends of the green beans and remove any blemishes. You can also cut the beans into smaller pieces if you like.
- Cook the bacon until it is crispy. This will help to infuse the green beans with flavor.
- Add the brown sugar and water. The brown sugar will help to caramelize the green beans and give them a sweet and savory flavor. The water will help to prevent the beans from burning.
- Cook the green beans until they are tender-crisp. You want the beans to be cooked through but still have a slight crunch to them.
- Serve immediately. Bacon brown sugar green beans are best served hot. You can garnish them with fresh parsley or chives if you like.
