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.
