5 cans (14.5 ounces each) whole green beans, drained
12 slices turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. While the oven is warming up, drain the canned green beans thoroughly and spread them out evenly into a 9 by 13 inch baking dish. Make sure they are distributed in a relatively flat layer so the glaze can reach every bean.
Cook your turkey bacon in a skillet or the oven until it is nice and crispy. Once cooled slightly, crumble the strips into small, bite-sized pieces and sprinkle them evenly over the top of the green beans in the baking dish.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture vigorously until the sugar is mostly dissolved and the glaze is smooth and well incorporated.
Pour the glaze mixture over the green beans and turkey bacon. Use a large spoon or spatula to gently toss the beans, ensuring every single one is coated in that delicious sweet and savory liquid. Spread them back into an even layer once coated.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. About halfway through the cooking time, you can give them a quick stir to redistribute the juices. The dish is done when the sauce is bubbly and the beans have absorbed those deep, rich flavors.
