Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 pound fresh green beans
  • 6 slices thin-sliced bacon
  • 1/2 cup honey French salad dressing
  • freshly ground black pepper

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Partially cook bacon by lying slices on a rimmed baking sheet and baking for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and drain on paper towels.
  • In the meantime, rinse green beans and snip off the ends. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then add the beans. Blanch the beans for 3-5 minutes until they turn a bring green. Drain the beans and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking.
  • Divide the beans into bundles of 5-7 beans each. Cut the bacon slices in half. Wrap one-half around a bean bundle, securing with a toothpick, and place in a glass baking dish.
  • Drizzle the bundles with the dressing, coating the bacon, and season with freshly ground black pepper.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for about 45 minutes, turning midway through, until the bacon is crispy. Remove from the baking dish to a serving platter and serve immediately.
