Sweet Green Bean Bundles

Carol's Mistletoe Kitchen's Note:

Very nice side dish from my friend, Judy. These green beans are so yummy! So easy and you can prepare the day before (uncooked) and refrigerate. Cook and serve.

• Total Time: 1 hrs 5 mins
• Prep Time: 30 mins
• Cook Time: 35 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 3 (15 ounce) cans green beans
• 8 slices bacon
• allspice
• 1⁄3; cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup butter

Directions:

1. Reserve juice from green beans (I only use 2/3 of the bean juice).
2. Take ½ slice of bacon and lay 10-12 green beans in middle. Wrap bacon around bundle of beans and weave the toothpick through the bacon to hold it together.
3. Lay bundles in a jellyroll type pan.
4. Mix 1/3 cup brown sugar with bean juice and pour over bean bundles.
5. Pour melted butter over all.
6. Sprinkle allspice on bacon.
7. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes and turn bundles.
8. Sprinkle with allspice and bake 15 minutes.
9. (You can reduce the cooking time and turn the broiler on for a couple of minutes to brown bacon).
