I offered to bring a few things to Thanksgiving with my in-laws this year, including these rolls<\/a>, a pie (still undecided on what I’m going to do) and a green bean dish. \u00a0I thought about doing these green bean salads<\/a>, but my sister-in-law is bringing a green salad and I didn’t want to double up. \u00a0So I went in search of a green bean dish that wasn’t a rich heavy casserole, even though I love the stuff, but was still special. \u00a0These green bean bundles are the perfect compromise.<\/p>\n

\"Rosemary<\/a><\/p>\n

I wanted something that wasn’t going to occupy too much stove or oven space and wouldn’t take too long. \u00a0You can blanch the beans in advance, and partially cook the bacon beforehand, which means a quick 15-20 minutes in the oven is all you need to finish these off.<\/p>\n

The original recipe I found here on Williams-Sonoma’s site<\/a>. \u00a0I changed a few things and was amazed at the results. \u00a0The bacon becomes almost candied in the butter and maple syrup sauce, so these are a bit decadent but since you’re eating vegetables you’re going to be fine. \u00a0It’s Thanksgiving after all. \u00a0Nothing wrong with candied bacon on Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n

I think these are adorable in their little individual bundles. \u00a0It does require more work, but nothing too intense. \u00a0With all the other sides you really only need one bundle per person, but make some extra just in case.<\/p>\n

\"Rosemary<\/a><\/p>\n

With Thanksgiving just a week away I wish you happy and stress free meal planning, traveling, prepping, baking and cooking. \u00a0But most of all I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving and hope you thoroughly enjoy the day with family and friends!<\/p>\n
