Ingredient Info and Substitution Suggestions
GREEN BEANS – Opt for fresh green beans instead of frozen for this recipe. Be sure to trim the ends off. In a pinch, you can get away with using frozen beans but be sure you allow them to thaw first and thoroughly pat them dry before beginning.
BACON – Center-cut bacon is definitely our go-to here. You’ll want it to be thick-cut. The tenderness of the bacon pairs really well with the crisp beans.
SEASONING – We chose Montreal steak seasoning, but your favorite combination of seasonings will also work just fine.

The recipes on this blog are tested with a conventional gas oven and gas stovetop. It’s important to note that some ovens, especially as they age, can cook and bake inconsistently. Using an inexpensive oven thermometer can assure you that your oven is truly heating to the proper temperature. If you use a toaster oven or countertop oven, please keep in mind that they may not distribute heat the same as a conventional full sized oven and you may need to adjust your cooking/baking times. In the case of recipes made with a pressure cooker, air fryer, slow cooker, or other appliance, a link to the appliances we use is listed within each respective recipe. For baking recipes where measurements are given by weight, please note that results may not be the same if cups are used instead, and we can’t guarantee success with that method.
