Brown Sugar n' Bacon Green Beans image

My husband wants desperately for me to patent and sell this recipe to a canner, but I want to share it with you! It is a huge hit at Thanksgiving and Christmas in place of the standard green bean casserole.

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 slices bacon, or more to taste
½ cup water
¼ cup brown sugar, or more to taste
1 teaspoon vegetable seasoning salt (such as McCormick® Vegetable Supreme® Seasoning)
2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and halved
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels, reserving 1 tablespoon bacon drippings. Crumble bacon.
  • Bring water to a boil in a skillet. Add brown sugar, vegetable seasoning, and bacon drippings to water; cook and stir until brown sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes. Add green beans and bacon to brown sugar mixture; season with salt. Reduce heat and simmer until green beans reach desired tenderness, about 10 minutes.

These green beans were a disappointment. They were bland and mushy, and the bacon was overcooked.

Delicious! I added a bit of garlic and onion powder to the bacon grease before adding the green beans, and it gave the dish an extra layer of flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my green beans turned out mushy. Not sure what went wrong.

These green beans were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

I've tried many green bean recipes before, but this one is definitely my favorite. The bacon adds a smoky flavor that takes the dish to the next level.
