Bacon Wrapped Green beans
Ingredients:
1 (12 ounce) package bacon, strips cut in half
1 lb green beans (washed)
3 tablespoons brown sugar
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a casserole dish.
Set out the bacon, green beans and casserole dish in a little assembly line. Lay out a strip of bacon. Place a small bunch of green beans (6 or 7) onto the strip of bacon and roll up into a bundle.
Place the bundle into the casserole dish, seam side down, leaving room in between the bundles. Repeat with remaining bacon strips and green beans. Sprinkle with the brown sugar and salt and pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven until browned and heated through, about 20 minutes.
Sweet Potato Casserole
Ingredients:
6 medium-size sweet potatoes
2 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup half-and-half or whole milk
2/3 cup melted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cold butter
1 cup chopped pecans
Marshmallows (smaller ones the better)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Cook the sweet potatoes in boiling water for 30 to 45 minutes until they are tender and can be pierced easily with a fork. Allow to cool, then peel and mash.
Combine the mashed sweet potatoes with 1 cup of the brown sugar, the eggs, vanilla, half-and-half and melted butter. Mix by hand or with a hand blender until smooth. Spread evenly in a buttered 9x13-inch baking dish.
Combine the remaining brown sugar with the flour, and cut in the 1/4 cup cold butter until mixture is crumbly. Toss mixture with chopped pecans, and sprinkle evenly over top of casserole.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, adding the marshmallows after 20 minutes
