This past weekend, Clay returned home after being in Florida for a month for work. Living out of a hotel room doesn't exactly lend itself to gourmet meals, so I wanted to make him a delicious dinner to celebrate his homecoming. On the menu was: filet mignon with a garlic and herb rub, brie mashed potatoes, and green bean bundles.
Green bean bundles have been a favorite in my family for years. They are really easy to make, and always a crowd pleaser!
3 lbs fresh green beans
8 strips of bacon, cut in half
3/4 cup brown sugar
3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Steam green beans until crisp-tender. Gather about 8 or so beans together in a bundle, and wrap with a piece of bacon. Place bundle in a baking dish, and repeat with remaining beans and bacon (should make about 16 bundles)
Mix brown sugar, butter, soy sauce, and garlic powder. Pour over bundles.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
Serve two bundles per person.
