For a smoky flavor, use smoked bacon. Adjust the amount of brown sugar to your preference. Some people prefer a less sweet dish. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. Fresh green beans can be used. Blanch the fresh green beans before baking. For easier cleanup, line the baking dish with parchment paper.

Feb 19, 2024I found the bacon to be a bit too greasy. Next time, I'll partially cook the bacon before adding it to the beans.
