Instructions:
-
Marinate Green Beans: Begin by marinating the green beans overnight in zesty Italian dressing. This step infuses them with flavor and enhances their taste.
-
Drain Beans: The next day, remove the green beans from the marinade and allow them to drain. This ensures that excess liquid is removed, preventing soggy bundles.
-
Wrap with Bacon: Take 6-7 green beans for each bundle and carefully wrap them with half a slice of bacon. The bacon adds a savory and indulgent touch to the bundles.
-
Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a 14-inch cast iron pizza pan by greasing it lightly. This ensures that the bundles don’t stick to the pan during baking.
-
Bake Bundles: Arrange the bacon-wrapped green bean bundles on the prepared pizza pan, making sure they’re evenly spaced out. Bake them in the preheated oven for 30-45 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the beans are tender.
-
Drain Excess Fat: About halfway through the baking time, carefully remove the pan from the oven. Place the green bean bundles on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess fat from the bacon.
-
Return to Pan: After draining the excess fat, transfer the green bean bundles back to the pizza pan and return them to the oven to finish baking. This step ensures that the bacon becomes deliciously crisp.
-
Serve: Once fully baked, remove the green bean bundles from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Serve them warm as a delightful appetizer or side dish that’s sure to impress your family and guests.
These green bean bundles are not only flavorful and addictive but also low in protein and cholesterol, making them a healthier option for any occasion. Enjoy the irresistible combination of crispy bacon and tender green beans in every delightful bite!
