Description
Bacon Wrapped Green Bean Bundles are a delicious and visually appealing dish that combines fresh green beans wrapped in crispy bacon, drizzled with honey French dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ pound fresh green beans
- 6 slices thin-sliced bacon
- ½ cup honey French salad dressing
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Partially cook bacon by placing slices on a rimmed baking sheet and baking for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and drain on paper towels.
- Rinse green beans and snip off the ends. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then add the beans. Blanch the beans for 3-5 minutes until bright green. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking.
- Divide the beans into bundles of 5-7 beans each. Cut bacon slices in half and wrap one half around a bean bundle, securing it with a toothpick. Place the bundles in a glass baking dish.
- Drizzle the bundles with honey French dressing, ensuring the bacon is coated. Season with freshly ground black pepper.
- Bake at 375 degrees for about 45 minutes, turning midway through, until the bacon is crispy.
- Remove the bundles from the baking dish and transfer them to a serving platter. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Make sure the green beans are fresh and bright.
- Adjust the baking time if your bacon is thicker.
- This dish can be prepared ahead and baked just before serving.
