Holiday Green Beans: WFMW

One of my favorite things to do this time of the year it to thumb through my Christmas magazines for ideas while sitting near the fire (okay the gas logs. LOL)
I usually keep my copies of Southern Living and Mississippi magazine for a few years. While looking through them, I usually find a recipe or two to try, and get some great decorating ideas.

I know all of you have seen the commercial from years past where the guests all show up at their destination all bringing the green bean casserole! We have had it with our holiday meals lots of times in the past.

Here is a different way to serve green beans that our family really enjoyed that I tried last year. It is from the Dec. 2007 Mississippi Magazine.
I don't have pictures because I wasn't blogging last year when I made it.

Simply Great Green Beans


6 (14 .5 oz.) cans whole green beans

1/2 stick butter

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup Hormel real crumbled bacon

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Drain green beans, and pour into a 9 by 13 inch baking dish. Set aside. Melt butter, and stir in brown sugar. Pour butter and sugar mixture over green beans. Sprinkle with crumbled bacon. Cover with foil, and bake for 30 minutes.
Yield: 10-12 servings.

I usually mix them up the night before and refrigerate. They are so easy to make and very tasty!
