BACON BROWN SUGAR GREEN BEANS



Bacon Brown Sugar Green Beans image

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 :)

Provided by Anita Hoffman

Categories     Vegetables

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 lb fresh green beans, ends trimmed
4-6 strips bacon, chopped
2/3 c brown sugar
2 Tbsp dijon mustard
1 Tbsp minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste

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 fresh green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and crisp. Avoid beans that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Trim the green beans: Cut off the ends of the beans. You can also remove the strings from the beans if desired.
  • Cook the bacon until it is crispy: This will add flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Use brown sugar that is packed: This will help to prevent the sugar from clumping.
  • Add the green beans to the pan after the bacon has been cooked: This will help to prevent the beans from becoming overcooked.
  • Stir the beans frequently: This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Season the beans to taste: Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the beans immediately: They are best when served hot.
