12 ounces turkey bacon, cooked until crispy and chopped
2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. While the oven is warming up, grease a 9 by 13 inch baking dish with a light coating of butter or non-stick cooking spray to ensure the sugary glaze does not stick to the sides.
Drain the liquid from your canned green beans thoroughly and spread them evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the chopped, crispy turkey bacon pieces over the top of the beans, making sure they are distributed well so every scoop gets some crunch.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together vigorously until the sugar has mostly dissolved and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Pour the glaze evenly over the green beans and turkey bacon. Use a pair of tongs or a large spoon to gently toss the beans within the dish, ensuring that every single bean is well-coated in that delicious savory and sweet liquid.
Place the baking dish in the center rack of the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. About halfway through the cooking time, give the beans another quick toss to redistribute the glaze that settles at the bottom of the pan.
