Green Bean Bundles (T&T)

Source of Recipe

Paula Deen / Paula's Southern Christmas


List of Ingredients

1 pound fresh green beans
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
Bacon





Recipe

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Blanch green beans for 3 minutes. Toss them in olive oil and salt and pepper. Bundle about 5 green beans and wrap a piece of bacon around the bundle. Place in a roasting pan and roast for 10 to 15 minutes, until bacon is cooked.

My notes: We blanched the beans for 5 mins. We used about 8 beans and wrapped with a 1/2 piece of bacon...cut lengthwise so you still have the length. We put the bacon in the microwave for a few mins...do not cook the bacon thoroughly or you will not be able to wrap the green beans. It took longer than 10 mins...closer to 20 mins. These are wonderful and we will make them again!!
