Description

This BBQ Smothered Green Beans recipe is a savory and sweet side dish perfect for family dinners or holiday meals. Tender green beans are smothered in a rich, tangy BBQ sauce made from ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce, then topped with crispy bacon. Slow-baked to perfection, this dish offers a delicious blend of smoky, sweet, and savory flavors that complement any main course.

Ingredients

Scale

Green Beans

  • 5 (15-oz) cans green beans, drained

Bacon

  • 1 lb bacon

Sauce

  • 1 cup ketchup
  • ½ cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 Tbsp dried minced onion flakes
  • 3 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350ºF to prepare for baking the green beans.
  2. Prepare Green Beans: Drain the canned green beans thoroughly and pour them into an ungreased 9×13-inch baking pan, spreading them evenly.
  3. Cook Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until it is almost done but not too crispy to retain some chewiness. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on paper towels to drain the excess fat. Once cooled, chop the bacon into small pieces.
  4. Assemble Dish: Sprinkle the chopped bacon evenly over the green beans in the baking pan.
  5. Make BBQ Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the ketchup, packed brown sugar, dried minced onion flakes, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.
  6. Pour Sauce and Bake: Pour the prepared BBQ sauce evenly over the green beans and bacon. Place the baking pan uncovered into the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the top to caramelize slightly.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh green beans if preferred; blanch them before using.
  • Bacon can be cooked in the oven or microwave if desired to save time.
  • Adjust the sweetness by modifying the brown sugar amount to taste.
  • This dish can be prepared a day ahead and baked before serving for convenience.
  • For a spicier kick, add a dash of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the BBQ sauce mixture.
