A delicious green bean option from a great Kentucky cookbook, “A Slice of Kentucky”…Elegant Green Beans.

2 14.5 oz cans whole green beans

2 slices bacon cut into pieces

1/2 c. brown sugar

Garlic salt to taste

2 Tbs. butter, sliced (try Ferrarini Italian butter – wow)

Rinse beans, drain. Place the beans in a coated baking dish. Place bacon on top of beans. Spread the brown sugar on top. Season with garlic salt and dot with buttes slices. Bake uncovered (I start them covered then uncover half way through) at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, stirring often.
