Steamed
and then baked, these scrumptious green beans take on great
flavor, because they are wrapped in bacon and bathed in a
savory sauce. This recipe is best when you marinate the bundles
overnight.
10 slices
bacon
1 pound fresh green beans
1 cube beef bouillon
4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Preheat
oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place
bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat
until partially cooked. Drain, cut each piece in half, and
set aside.
- Bring
a large pot of water to a boil. Place the green beans on
a rack or special steamer basket over the boiling water.
Cover with a lid so that the steam does not escape. Steam
for a few minutes until the green beans are done. Set the
green beans aside. Reserve about 2 cups of the water and
dissolve the bouillon cube in it.
- Take
a bundle of green beans (4 or 5) and wrap them with a piece
of bacon. Secure with a toothpick if necessary. Place the
bundles in a shallow baking dish.
- In
a saucepan over medium heat, combine the reserved stock
with the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, butter, brown
sugar, and garlic powder. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
- Pour
the sauce over the bundles and bake in a preheated 350 degrees
F (175 degrees C) oven for 20 minutes or until the bacon
is done.
