I talk about main course meat dishes a whole lot, because they’re usually the stars of the show. But what about the sides? We all want something tasty that’s not a lot of trouble to enjoy along with the entree. Green beans are a side dish staple. I’m going to dress them up today with some bacon so they’ll be perfect for your next big family meal.
There are so many ways to make green beans I can’t even count them. I’ve cooked them dozens of ways, but this recipe is one of my favorites. It's simple with only a few ingredients, and the results are delicious. They go good with beef, pork, or poultry. Let’s get started!
There’s a detailed demonstration of this recipe in the video and recipe card at the bottom of this post. Here’s a basic run through of how I made this dish.
The beans were perfectly cooked and had a rich sweet, savory flavor that blended well with their natural taste. The bacon was a great addition, too. It contributed some more savoriness to the recipe, and added that unique bacon flavor we all love. These bacon-wrapped green beans should be on the menu at your next family gathering. Trust me, you won’t be sorry.
I recommend planning for each person to eat 2-3 bundles of green beans as a side dish.
Let the beans cool down and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can reheat them in the oven or the microwave.

Cook Time
1 hour 30 minutes
Heath Riles BBQ Chicken Rub
Green Beans
Bacon
1 Stick Melted Butter
Get your grill up to 375º.
Blanch your green beans for a few minutes in boiling water to make them tender. Drain the water.
Wrap your green beans in slices of bacon. We wrapped about 8-10 green beans per slice of bacon.
Spray your casserole dish with non-stick spray.
Place your bacon-wrapped green beans in the casserole dish and spread them evenly.
Pour 1 melted stick of butter over your green beans.
Next, sprinkle some brown sugar over the top.
Add a few dashes of soy sauce.
Then, top it off with some Heath Riles BBQ Chicken Rub.
Place the green beans on your grill for a 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until your bacon and green beans are done to your liking. We spun our dish around at the 45 minute mark.
Once they're done, take them off the grill. Let them cool and enjoy!
