Recipe: Green Bean Bundles

Green Bean Bundles
(printable recipe)
Ingredients:
1 pound fresh green beans
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
Bacon

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Blanch green beans for 3 minutes. [ I microwave for about 3 minutes.] Toss them in olive oil and salt and pepper. Bundle about 5 green beans and tie a piece of bacon around the bundle. [I also precook the bacon in the microwave until it is partially cooked but still pliable.] Place in a roasting pan and roast for 10 to 15 minutes, until bacon is cooked. A delicious and impressive addition to any meal.

    Did you mean that you cooked it on high in the microwave for three minutes INSTEAD of blanching?

    This looks yummy and fun! Thanks for linking up to Making Your Home Sing Monday!

    This sounds delish! I had something similar at a restaurant once - but they used asparagus and prosciutto... same idea I guess, but more folks are going to like yours!

    I found you via Aquariann's Spring blog hop! Looking forward to browsing some more.

    Yum!! I have a very similar recipe that uses green beans, bacon, garlic salt & brown sugar. The brown sugar part seems odd, but man is it good!! Can't wait to try yours as well. I'm a new follower!!

    Yum, these look delicious! Last night I made some potatoes (very tiny ones) wrapped in half a slice of bacon and held with a toothpick; baked at about 400 for 40 minutes or so. Those were good, too. Gotta love that bacon :)
