The trick to getting picky eaters to eat veggies? Add bacon! This recipe from Maebells coats crisp bacon and green beans with a tangy, sweet marinade for a side dish you will want to make over and over again. If you don’t own a grill, put your oven to work instead — it works equally well!
Heat a grill to 400ºF. Separate green beans into bundles of 5–6 beans. Wrap each bundle with 1/3 slice of bacon, and secure with toothpicks. In a small bowl, combine marinade and brown sugar, and microwave 15–20 seconds, until sugar is dissolved. Brush half the marinade on the bundles. Grill bundles for 3 minutes, turn and grill for 3 minutes more. Remove from grill when bacon is crisp and green beans are tender and lightly charred. Brush with remaining marinade, and top with blue cheese.
