Instructions
Making Cheesy Bacon Wrapped Green Beans is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Green Beans: Rinse the green beans under cold water and trim the ends.
3. Season the Beans: In a bowl, toss the green beans with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
4. Wrap with Bacon: Take a slice of bacon and wrap it around a green bean, starting from one end and spiraling to the other. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the wrapped green beans on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
6. Sprinkle Cheese: Once all the beans are wrapped, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. If you used toothpicks, remove them before placing on a serving platter.
