  • Cinnamon
  • Brown Sugar
  • Bacon
  • Salt
  • Pepper
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375
  2. Trim and wash the green beans and pat dry. Be sure to remove excess water as you'll be tossing the green beans with bacon fat.
  3. Set the green beans aside and mix together cinnamon and brown sugar. The amount you need will be dependent on the amount of bacon you're cooking.
  4. Chop the bacon into small bits and toss in the cinnamon and brown sugar mixture.
  5. Cook the bacon on low mixing frequently.
  6. The bacon will begin to caramelize quickly but keep stirring to keep them from forming clumps.
  7. After the bacon has cooked, pour off the bacon fat and save it.
  8. Allow the bacon fat to cool slightly then toss with the green beans.
  9. Place in oven and allow to cook until desired doneness.
  10. Crumble the caramelised bacon atop the green beans and serve warm.
