Barbecue green beans are a delicious and popular side dish that can complement many barbecue meals. Here's a simple and tasty recipe for barbecue green beans:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound green beans, trimmed
- 4 slices of bacon, chopped
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.
In the same skillet with the bacon grease, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté them for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the green beans to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become slightly tender but still crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
Pour the barbecue sauce mixture over the green beans and stir well to coat the beans evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
If you're using a grill, transfer the green beans to a grill-safe dish or aluminum foil pan. If you're using an oven, you can keep the green beans in the skillet.
Place the green beans on the preheated grill or in the preheated oven. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the beans are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring occasionally.
Remove from the grill or oven, and sprinkle the crispy bacon bits on top of the green beans.
Serve the barbecue green beans hot as a flavorful side dish to your barbecue feast.
Enjoy your delicious barbecue green beans!
