Here it is. Copied from the FB page, 19 Scandals and Counting. I stand
corrected on the canned. They are frozen green beans. I assumed canned
because most of what they eat comes from cans.
19 Scandals and Counting "These green beans are sure to be a favorite with
everyone! At the €śbig house€ť (Duggar home), wed usually serve these as a
side with beef brisket and party potatoes! This recipe makes one, large
industrial size pan, or two 9Ă—13€ł pans and serves about 20 people as a side.
5 lbs. green beans, whole, frozen
1 lb. turkey bacon, cut into chunks (or cook before for crispy bacon)
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup butter or margarine
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
Grease two 9Ă—13€ł pans (or one large industrial pan). Dump frozen green beans
into pan. Melt butter and add all remaining ingredients to pan. Stir. Bake
at 350 degrees for 30-45 min."
