I’ve always had it in my head that green beans need to be savory, rich with flavor. The other night I was brainstorming about green beans, because I had to send green beans for Rob’s thanksgiving lunch at his work. I thought, “Why can’t green beans be sweet?” See below for the recipe that I came up with. I got several compliments, so this recipe was a success!
Servings: 8
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
4 cans of green beans
1 cup of finely chopped yellow onion
5 pieces of bacon, chopped
1 tsp of minced garlic
1 cup of brown sugar
1/3 cup of sugar
1 stick of butter
Dash of salt and pepper
Directions:
1. Brown bacon in the bottom of a pan. Add in garlic, onions, and butter. Allow bacon to cook through and onions caramelize.
2. Whisk in sugar and brown sugar. Make sure there are no clumps of brown sugar.
3. Bring to a simmer and carefully stir in green beans. Lower heat so that the bottom of the pan doesn’t stick. Make sure to get green beans coated with sauce. Allow to heat for about 10 minutes.

Yum! Definitely need to try this with the brown sugar. Looks so similar to a casserole except no need to put it in the oven which saves so much time 🙂

Green beans are one of my favorite vegetables. I am always looking to find a way to add “spire” to my beloved veggie.
