BACON BROWN SUGAR GREEN BEANS
Don't let the name discourage you! With both bacon and brown sugar, this side dish is sure to please. I'm asked to bring these sweet green beans every year to family functions (and birthdays too). **TIPS** I cook the bacon pieces in a skillet until about halfway done before removing from heat and placing on paper towels to help absorb some of the grease. Skipping this process can cause your dish to be exceedingly greasy. If you desire crispier bacon, cook the pieces just a little longer than halfway done, since fully cooking the bacon pieces prior to baking will cause them to burn from the extra cooking in the oven. If you'd like the bacon pieces more tender rather than crispy, you can cover the dish with foil during all or part of the cooking, depending on preference :)

Important
- Including a variety of spices, such as black and cayenne peppers, cumin, and chili powder, will create a flavorful dish. - Using low-sodium bacon and canned green beens without added salt will help reduce the overall saltiness of the dish. - Adding in maple syrup will provide a rich, sweet taste that offsets the heat from the spices. - Including a small amount of vinegar will add a tangy dimension that further enlivens the dish. - To add a bit of crunch, consider using toasted pecans or walnuts instead of almonds. - For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and use a meatless broth instead of chicken broth. - Brown sugar green beens can be prepared in advance and reheated for easy entertaining. - To prevent the green beens from being too crunchy, blanch them before cooking them. - If you prefer a thicker gravy, make a cornstarch slurry by combining one tablespoon of cornstarch with one tablespoon of water. Once the green beens have finished cooking, add the slurry and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until the gravy has thickened.Conclusion
In conclusion, brown sugar green beens with bacon make for an easy and delicious side dish that goes well with a variety of entrees. With slight adjustments, this recipe can easily adapt to various tastes and dietary needs. So whether you are making it for a weeknight meal or as part of a holiday spread, this dish is sure to be a hit!
