If you are coming to this post for a healthy and delicious side dish . . . well, I have the delicious part covered. 🙂
These green beans are pretty much like candy and I can devour a pound of them in one sitting. The sweet from the brown sugar and the salty from the bacon take these beans over the top! Add a good amount of butter and you have an INCREDIBLE dish!
Since the main ingredient is green beans, these can be considered healthy food, right?! 🙂
(Moderation in all things . . . a little bacon and brown sugar every now and then won’t hurt!)
If all vegetables were prepared this way, I think that it would be my favorite food group!

Save RecipeIngredients
- 6 bacon strips
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 (16 ounce) bag frozen green beans
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
Instructions
- In a large skillet, fry the bacon over medium heat until done (but not quite crisp).
- Drain off grease and add butter and brown sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until the brown sugar has dissolved.
- Steam the Green Beans in the bag if they are steamable, otherwise place the green beans in a pot and fill with about 1 inch of water. Bring water to a boil and then place the lid on the pot.
- Steam the beans over medium heat until cooked through, about 5-8 minutes.
- Drain the water from the beans, season with garlic salt, and stir in the sugar and bacon mixture.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
If the brown sugar mixture starts to go hard, you can quickly reheat it before pouring it over your beans.
