Bacon-Wrapped Sweet Green Bean Bundles Recipe

Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add green beans and cook uncovered until tender-crisp 2 to 3 minutes. Drain in a colander and immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes to stop the cooking process. Drain.

Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat turning occasionally until almost browned but flimsy and not yet crisp 6 to 8 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and let cool slightly about 5 minutes.

Wrap 8 to 10 green beans with bacon and place into the prepared dish. Repeat with remaining green beans and bacon.

Combine butter brown sugar Worcestershire soy sauce and garlic in a bowl. Pour over green bean bundles. Cover with aluminum foil and marinate in the refrigerator 2 hours to overnight.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Bake green bean bundles in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and continue to bake until bacon is crispy about 15 minutes more.
