Green Bean and Bacon Bundles

 
No Author Published: November 11, 2009   


Makes 12 to 18 bundles depending on size of beans and servings.

I love these little bundles of green beans because they are easy to serve. The green beans are bundled in groups of 6 to 10, depending on the size of the green beans, and secured with a ribbon of bacon. Fresh blanched beans are the best, but thawed frozen beans work with some adjustment to the preparation. Smaller bundles are perfect for a Thanksgiving side dish because many things compete for space on the plate.
