Our Favorite Green Beans

These are seriously so good. In south Alabama where I'm from, we would say these are real good. My favorite BBQ sauce ever is called "Drip Sauce." It's homemade by a guy in Florala (can you guess where that is?) whose real name is Drip...I'm not lying. On the label it says it's "so good it'll make you wanna' slap yo' momma." These green beans are that kind of good. Your husbands are going to want to lick the pan--at least mine does. Anyway, here's the recipe (I adapted it from Emily's recipe found HERE. Check out her "Creamy Grits" recipe, too! It's in the same post.):

GREEN BEANS INGREDIENTS

3/4 pound fresh green beans (or two cans cut green beans)
4 strips bacon (I use Oscar Mayer pre-cooked)
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/8 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce

INSTRUCTIONS

(1) Preheat your oven to 350. If you are using canned beans, drain and rinse them. Then pat them dry with a paper towel. If you are using fresh, rinse them and snap off the ends (That is a fun thing for kids to do), then boil them for 8-10 minutes and drain them.
(2) In a microwave safe bowl, melt your butter.
(3) Add your brown sugar, garlic salt, and soy sauce to your melted butter and stir it to combine.
(4) Spread your green beans out on a cookie sheet. Pour your butter mixture over the top and roll the green beans around in it to make sure they are all pretty well coated.
(5) Cook your bacon (if you use the pre-cooked, then it only takes 30 seconds in the microwave). Crumble it up on top of your green beans.
(6) Pop the pan in the oven for 10-15 minutes. Make sure you let the pan cool before your husband licks it.
