Glam up your vegetables! Wrapping beans in bacon makes this dish irresistible - even to the pickiest eaters in your family.
Ingredients:
Green beans (may cook first for about 4 minutes, then cool in ice water)
Bacon (may par-cook)
Onion powder
Garlic powder (or salt)
Olive oil
Grated Parmesan cheese
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Clean and snip ends of green beans. Bundle beans in bunches of 5-7 and wrap with 1/2 of a bacon slice. Place all on a pan so they are not touching. Drizzle olive oil over each bundle, and then season with onion and garlic powder. Sprinkle a little Parmesan on each bundle as well.
Bake for a half hour. Put oven on broil setting and broil for another 10 to 15 minutes. Note: if you precooked the beans and bacon, cook for 15 minutes, then sprinkle with Parmesan and bake for another 5 minutes.
