Green Bean Makeover

This weekend was our church small group meeting  Its always a potluck.  This time around we brought a green bean side dish.

The original recipe is here on Six Sisters Stuff ... love this site!!!

The butter amount worried me a little because that would be an awful lot of oil so I googled butter to oil conversions.  Turns out its not 1:1 ... more like 2:1.  I added a link to the conversion site over on the right under Helpful Links

I doubled it to serve the herd that always shows up at small group and still there was nothing left.

Here's the make over

Ingredients:

2 (12 oz) package frozen green beans (I used Green Giant Valley Fresh Steamers)
12 pieces turkey bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces

1/4 cup grape seed oil 

1/2 cup Splenda brown sugar

garlic salt, to taste

Directions:

In  a large skillet cook turkey bacon until done, but not crisp.  Add oil and brown sugar and cook until the sugar is dissolved.

Cook green beans in the microwave per package directions..  Season with garlic salt to taste then pour bacon sauce over them and toss to coat.

If the brown sugar mixture starts to go hard, you can quickly reheat it before pouring it over your beans.
