Method

Step-by-step instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 10x15-inch rimmed baking sheet with foil.

2

Arrange bacon on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until partially cooked and pliable, about 8 minutes. Pour off bacon grease from baking sheet. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

3

Meanwhile, prepare a bowl of ice water and bring a very large skillet of salted water to a boil. Add beans to the skillet, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, until bright green, about 1 minute. Drain beans, then transfer them to the ice bath. Once cooled, drain beans and blot dry with paper towels.

4

For sauce, add Worcestershire, butter, brown sugar, soy sauce, and garlic powder to skillet. Cook and stir over medium heat until butter melts and sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Return beans to skillet; toss to coat in sauce.

5

Working with about 10 green beans at a time, wrap 1 piece of bacon around the beans to form a bundle. Repeat with remaining beans and bacon. Arrange bundles on a baking sheet, tucking bacon ends underneath bundles. Drizzle beans with any remaining sauce in skillet.

6

Bake, uncovered, until bacon is crisp and green beans are tender, about 35 minutes.
