Bacon Wrapped Green Beans

Well, this one MUST be a winner, since Brayden actually ate the green beans...and asked for seconds!

1 pkg. fresh green beans
1 lb. bacon
1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. pepper
soy sauce- just a splash
olive oil

Steam fresh green beans in the bag in microwave for two-three minutes. Cook bacon slightly...enough to have it still pliable.
Bundle 6-8 green beans and wrap in one strip of bacon. Lay bundles in a 9x13 pan.
In small saucepan, melt butter, sugar, spices and soy sauce together. Pour mixture over green bean bundles. Drizzle with a little olive oil.
Bake at 375 for about 20 minutes.

Mmmmm...more like a treat than a vegetable! :)

Thanks to Kristen Buhler for the original recipe (that I doctored some)!
