Arkansas Green Beans

 I found this recipe on allrecipes when I was searching for a green bean recipe for the wedding. I wanted something that was 'kicked up a notch' from just plain old green beans and these got good reviews.

After I made them I knew I didn't have to look any further. They were awesome! The sauce is what gives it such a great flavor. And bacon....well bacon makes everything better!!!

I made a few adjustments to it by cutting the amount of sugar and garlic powder. If you like them sweeter, by all means add more. The original recipe called for 2/3 cup brown sugar and that sounded like a lot to me so I cut it back to 1/3 cup. In my opinion that was enough. I also cut the garlic powder back to 1 teaspoon from 1 1/2 teaspoon. Add the full amount if you like.

Hope you like them too!
