Bacon makes everything better with Lucy Yang's bacon wrapped string beans

NEW YORK (WABC) -- My favorite thing at holiday gatherings - besides desserts - are the SIDES!!! One of my favorite recipes is from my sister.

Ingredients

2-3 pounds of fresh string beans

Bacon

Sauce

1 stick unsalted butter,

1 cup brown sugar (a little less is fine)

3 Tablespoons soy sauce

Melt together

Directions

1. Blanch beans

2. Bundle string beans in bunches of 8

3. Wrap w bacon

4. Use tooth picks to keep together

5. Pour sauce over everything

8. Bake 10 mins with foil on

9. Bake 30 mins without foil (or longer if you like it more crispy)
