Brown Sugar Bacon Green Beans!!! Now that just instantly makes my mouth water and taste buds do a dance. These green beans are simple to make and amazing for any meal, get together or to indulge. Did I mention these are simple.... This recipe was given to me by my brothers future Mother In Law. 

Ingredients:

9 Cups Green Beans - Any Type - Drained
1 Stick Unsalted Butter
2 cups brown sugar
2 tsp garlic salt
1/2 lb bacon cut into little pieces - more may be used as preferred

1. Preheat Oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Melt Butter, Brown Sugar & Garlic Salt together in sauce pan over medium heat siring occasionally to prevent burning. When combined and melted it will have a paste consistency
3. Pour drained green beans into 9 x 13 or larger baking dish
4. Pour butter mixture over green beans and gently toss
5. Sprinkle the bacon pieces on top
6. Bake for 30-40 min. 
7. Serve Warm

Cooks Note: 

• While I am an avid frozen and fresh veggie girl this recipe is better with the canned green beans. I used standard cut green beans.
• A typical serving size for green beans is 1/2 cup so check labels for how many cups are in each can (nutrition label).So for 9 cups you would need 18 servings.
• While this recipe does have a high sodium content you can reduce it by using No Salt Added Green Beans. You may also try reducing the Garlic Salt or substituting with Garlic Powder to eliminate added salt all together.
