5 cans (14.5 ounces each) whole green beans, drained
10 slices turkey bacon, cooked until crispy and chopped
2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. While the oven is heating, drain the cans of green beans thoroughly to ensure the sauce does not become too watery. Arrange the drained green beans in a 9 by 13 inch baking dish, spreading them out evenly.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir until the sugar has mostly dissolved and the mixture is well combined. The sauce should be thick and glossy.
Sprinkle the chopped crispy turkey bacon evenly over the top of the green beans in the baking dish. Carefully pour the prepared sauce over the beans and turkey bacon, trying to coat as many beans as possible. You can gently toss them with tongs if you want every bean fully submerged in the glaze.
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, you can use a spoon to baste the beans with the sauce from the bottom of the dish. The beans are ready when the sauce is bubbling and has thickened into a sticky glaze.
