About the Recipe
This is one of my favorite and personal go-to sides. It's turned green beans into my favorite veggie, and probably a great way to get kids to eat them (though I understand using brown sugar may not be ideal for some). But it's definitely a tasty way to spice up your green beans. These sweet and savory green beans go great with salmon, steak, chicken, really anything. If you're in a pinch, you can throw this together quickly in a skillet using frozen cut green beans & pre-made bacon bits without needing the oven. And when you're feeling fancy, follow this recipe prepping fresh green beans and bacon. TIP: measure from the heart based on what you think seems best for you. Enjoy!
