Bacon-Wrapped Green Beans

Ingredients

• 3/4 pound green beans (frozen)
• 4 strip bacon
• 3 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°. Place beans in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, until crisp-tender, 6-8 minutes. Meanwhile, in a skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until cooked but not crisp, about 3 minutes. Remove to paper towels.
2. 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.
3. In a small bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, garlic salt and soy sauce; brush over bundles. Bake until bacon is crisp, 10-15 minutes.
