Main Ingredients

  • 3 14 oz. cans green beans, drained
  • 10 slices bacon, chopped
  • 3 tbsp reserved bacon grease
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon and set aside, leaving 2-3 tbsp. of bacon grease in the skillet.
  • In the same skillet, add butter, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes until a glaze forms.
  • Add drained green beans and reserved bacon to the skillet. Toss to coat and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

If the sauce is too thin, simmer for longer or mix a cornstarch slurry to thicken.
