Green Bean Bundles

• 1 lb fresh green beans (adjust to your yield requirements)
• 5 slices bacon (I like to use maple bacon)
• 1 teaspoon butter
• 3 teaspoons butter (for the sauce)
• 14 cup brown sugar (Packed)
• 12 teaspoon garlic salt
• 12 teaspoon soy sauce
• 15 toothpicks

1. Preheat oven to 400.
2. Boil green beans in large pot till tender.
3. IMPORTANT: green beans need to stay long.
4. Meanwhile, fry the bacon in a skillet over med-low heat.
5. You want the bacon to cook soft.
6. Do not crisp the bacon.
7. Place aside on paper towels to cool and reduce grease.
8. Then cut the strips into halves.
9. After beans have been drained, place the 1 tsp butter on the hot green beans and let melt, then mix.
10. In a large 3x9x2 pan lay one of the half pieces of bacon and place several beans (about 6-7) then wrap the bacon around the bundle of beans and secure with a toothpick.
11. Continue doing this till the beans are gone.
12. Next, melt the 3 tsp of butter in small sauce pan.
13. add brown sugar, garlic salt and soy sauce and mix continuously while cooking over med heat.
14. Once completely blended, brush over the bundles with a cooking brush until mixture is gone.
15. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
