Green Bean Bundles are my new favorite party food/special holiday recipe? What makes this recipe special? Bacon. While bacon can make almost anything special, when you add some brown sugar to it, this will send you into a new level.


Crispy bacon wraps tender young green beans and there is a sweet, buttery, tangy sauce that is poured over these while they cook. I swear, I think these should be my newest party food. I love these like a party food. What I like about this recipe is that you don’t have to be exact in the measurements, so go with what you have.

Green Bean Bundles

Every time I see a recipe with lots of bacon I am reminded of a story.  I had just brought my former fiancee home to meet my mother and step-father for one of the first times.  Michael apparently loved liver and onions, a food I can’t stand.  My Mom was thrilled that Michael said he loved liver and onions.  Now the way my Mom makes liver and onions is about equal amounts of liver, onions, and well bacon.  I think Michael was amazed at the amount of bacon that went into my Mom’s liver and onions.

My Mom described how she made her liver and onions, I am guessing in the world of liver and onions her food is particularly good, I am not a fan.  She went to the part about where she added the bacon, and told Michael how much bacon she added, you know “some bacon, a pound of bacon, it just adds something”.  Michael looked at me and winked, “yeah, that little something is a pound of bacon. It just adds a little something extra.”
