Honey Mustard Bacon Wrapped Green Beans | tender green bean bundles covered in a honey mustard & garlic sauce wrapped in thick slices of salty bacon | paleo + low carb 

Hello from Manchester Airport!

Only a few more hours now until take off and I’m so ready for the travel bit to be over. While I am very much in awe of air travel and how amazing it is that I can cross countries and continents in less than 24 hours I feel much more at ease right here on land. Also, the magic of flying via airplane decreases drastically over time. By the time hour 14 rolls around (not including layover) any sense of wonder and awe will be replaced with exhaustion and stiffness.

But enough about that – let’s talk bacon!

Bacon Wrapped Green Beans

I got the idea for this recipe from a salad dressing I shared a few months back for this honey mustard chicken bacon & avocado salad. I made it again recently and asked myself why I would bother eating anything else. Ever.

With Thanksgiving coming up and green beans spilling all over the place, finding a way to combine the two seemed like a no brainer.

I can’t say that I’ve ever been a fan of the traditional green bean casserole, but I’d be up for my obligatory Thanksgiving green bean servings if they were made like this.

Green beans wrapped in thick slices of bacon and covered in a honey mustard & garlic sauce is clearly the best way to eat green beans…..and now I’ll stop saying green beans over and over again. Sorry!

I do recommend trimming the ends of the beans - I forgot to do that when picturing these.
