Green Bean Bundles

Ingredients

• 3 (14.5 ounce) cans whole green beans,drained (I used frozen whole beans)

• 1 pound bacon, cut in half

• 1/2 cup butter, melted

• 1 cup brown sugar

• 1 teaspoon mustard powder

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

2.. Season green beans with brown mustard powder.
3. Wrap green beans with uncooked bacon , cover with brown sugar and place in casserole dish after spraying with Pam.

Cook until bacon is done (approximately 30 minutes-45 minutes).

Southern Sweet Potato Casserole



1. Cook and peel sweet potatoes. Place them in a large pot and add enough water to the pot to cover the potatoes a little more than half way. Bring to a boil and simmer until fork tender. Drain water and place sweet potatoes on cutting board to cool down. Once they are warm enough to hold, peel the skin from the potatoes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

2. Make filling. Add eggs, evaporated milk, vanilla, sugar, salt and butter and mash everything together until smooth. I start with a potato masher, and then use an electric mixer on low speed, for about 45 seconds, to get the mixture really smooth.

3. Smooth into casserole dish.

4. Add pecan topping and bake. Combine the topping ingredients; butter, chopped pecans, flour and brown sugar. Sprinkle all over the top of your mashed sweet potato mixture. Bake for 35-40 minutes.
