Bacon Bundled Green Beans
NeedTaste |I needed a new idea for Thanksgiving this year, 2016, and this recipe was such a hit I've been asked to make it for Christmas again. I think we found a new tradition These little green bean bundles are easy to make, delicious, and look fabulous on the plate.. Green bean bundles are a fun and different holiday side dish. This version is sweet and savory with crisp green beans wrapped in caramelized bacon. Pre-cooking the bacon means it won't shrink as much as bacon traditionally would when baked. These green bean bundles have an amazing flavor. Your guests will be impressed when these are on your holiday table. No need for them to know how easy this side dish is to prepare.
