5 cans (14.5 ounces each) whole green beans, drained
12 slices turkey bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled
2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup salted butter, melted
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Drain the canned green beans thoroughly in a colander and spread them evenly into a 9×13 inch baking dish. Ensure the beans are distributed in an even layer so the sauce can coat everything properly.
Take your cooked and crumbled turkey bacon and sprinkle it generously over the top of the green beans. Use your hands or a spoon to lightly toss some of the bacon bits into the beans while leaving plenty on the surface for texture.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir until the sugar has mostly dissolved into the liquid and the mixture is smooth and combined.
Pour the prepared glaze evenly over the green beans and turkey bacon in the baking dish. You do not need to stir them again at this point, as the sauce will naturally bubble and distribute itself throughout the dish as it bakes in the oven.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes. The sauce should be bubbling and the beans should look glossy and slightly caramelized around the edges. Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for five minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
