Notes

Sweetness - So I used 1/4 cup of brown sugar. We prefer less sweet. If you want sweeter add in 1/3 cup brown sugar.

Green Beans - You can swap the frozen with fresh or drained canned green beans if you want.

Bacon - I don't overcook the bacon before tossing in the dish as it will cook more in the oven. If you toss in crispy bacon it can easily overcook.

Double Recipe - Feel free to double or even triple the recipe. Just stir every 5-10 minutes to ensure it all gets coated well and cooks evenly.

Storing - Store the leftover sweet green beans and bacon in the fridge for 3-4 days.
