Bacon Wrapped Green Beans
recipe found here

Ingredients
3/4 lb. fresh green beans
4 bacon strips
3 tbsp. butter, melted
1/4 c. packed brown sugar
1/4 tsp. garlic salt
1/8 teaspoon soy sauce

Directions
Place beans in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, for 8 minutes or until crisp-tender. Meanwhile, in a skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until cooked but not crisp, about 3 minutes. Remove to paper towels.

Drain beans; place about 12 beans on each bacon strip. Wrap bacon around beans and secure with a toothpick. Place on an ungreased baking sheet.

In a small bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, garlic salt and soy sauce; brush over bundles. Bake at 400° for 10-15 minutes or until bacon is crisp.

  6. This is a MUST. I'll have to try it with Turkey Bacon because my husband won't eat beef or pork. Looks so yummy!
