Green Bean Casserole with Brown Sugar

Prep Time: 10 min 

Cook Time: 45 min 

2 (15 oz) cans of green beans (French cut works nice)

2 slices of bacon

½ cup brown sugar

¼ tsp garlic powder

⅛ tsp salt

1 tbsp butter (cut into 4 pieces)

Drain the green beans well.  Place them in a clear 9X9 baking dish.  Sprinkle the garlic, brown sugar, and salt on the beans.  Cut the bacon into small pieces and sprinkle over the beans.  Place the pieces of butter on the beans.  

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake at 350 for 45 minutes.  Stir about every 15 minutes to make sure it’s not sticking.  For an extra kick, add some French’s French Fried Onions during the last 15 minutes of cooking time.
