Sophisticated yet humble way to serve green beans!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These green beans were awesome! I made them for Thanksgiving yesterday with my husband doing the bundling. He wanted me to... use a thick cut bacon, but if you do they have to cook longer (30 minutes) and people who don't like softer bacon (vs crispy) might not care for the actual bacon. Even after cooking for 30 minutes, the beans were still cooked, but still crisp. These were a huge hit!Read more

These are so easy to make. I first made them for a dinner party and expected to have left overs.... no way.... everyone had... two or three bundles. Now Im making them for thanksgiving. And just to be safe i got 2 pound of green beans this time. I hope that will be enough!Read more

Gotta love it!

Thanks Paula Deen! This was the first time my boyfriend or I had ever tried making a dish mixing bacon with green beans. The... result was elegent and delicious - not the healthiest veggie side but with a less fatty main dish it creates a good balance in my opinion. The recipe itself was very simple to make. I will definitely make these again! Read more

OMG!!! TO SIMPLE TO BE SO GOOD
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I am not a fan of green beans at all. I can take them or leave them and most of the time I have left them. However, I used... frozen green beans and infused my olive oil with fresh garlic and did not even get to the salt and pepper. BUT, when I tell you they were good, please believe they were good. I put about 8 green beans or so in each bundle. I am now trying to figure out who I can make these bundles of joy for.Read more

My friend's think this is my recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Everyone I've made this for steals the recipe. It's that good. I like it better with the thick cut bacon personally - or the... kind with the pepper on it. Of course, it's not healthy, so I only make them once in a blue moon. Make sure you blanch the beans and then cook them on the slotted baking tray like the recipe says and not a flat tray. You need the fat to drain to crisp the bacon. I cook it longer than it says too and broil for a few minutes at the end to crisp it even more. I think sea salt and fresh ground pepper and good olive oil make a difference too.Read more
