# Ingredients:
01 -
½ pound fresh green beans
02 -
6 slices thin-sliced bacon
03 -
½ cup honey French salad dressing
04 -
Freshly ground black pepper
# Steps:
01 -
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Partially cook bacon by placing slices on a rimmed baking sheet and baking for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and drain on paper towels.
02 -
Rinse green beans and snip off the ends. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then add the beans. Blanch the beans for 3-5 minutes until bright green. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking.

Divide the beans into bundles of 5-7 beans each. Cut bacon slices in half and wrap one half around a bean bundle, securing it with a toothpick. Place the bundles in a glass baking dish.

Drizzle the bundles with honey French dressing, ensuring the bacon is coated. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Bake at 375 degrees for about 45 minutes, turning midway through, until the bacon is crispy.

Remove the bundles from the baking dish and transfer them to a serving platter. Serve immediately.
