Ingredients
Frozen Whole Green Beans: You can use whole or cut green beans; both can be found in the grocery store freezer section.
Bacon: Chop up ⅓ pound (about 5 pieces) of raw bacon and cook in a large skillet.
Brown Sugar: Makes it sweet but not too sweet.
Soy Sauce: Makes the green beans really savory. Make sure to use low sodium so the green beans aren’t too salty.
Butter: Adds flavor to the green beans.
Garlic & Onion Powder: Adds flavor.
How to Make These Green Beans
1. Cook Bacon: Cook raw chopped bacon until it’s crispy. Place the bacon on paper towels to drain excess fat, drain the leftover fat from the skillet, and dispose of it properly.
2. Warm-Up Green Beans: Over medium heat, add frozen green beans and sauté until they are warm. Stir them occasionally to cook evenly.
3. Add the Rest of the Ingredients: Add the cooked bacon, brown sugar, soy sauce, butter, garlic powder, and onion powder.
4. Thicken Sauce: Toss until a thick sauce is formed, about 3 minutes.
