GREEN BEANS WITH BROWN SUGAR AND BACON

BROWN SUGAR AND BACON GREEN BEANS
We liked these, but next time I think I will try less butter and sugar and see if we still like.
UPDATE: I added 1/2 the butter and 1/2 the sugar.  Was still really good.  Also used turkey bacon.  Used garlic powder and fresh green beans from Cathy Gray.

1 (16 oz) frozen green beans
6 bacon strips, cut into 1" pieces
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
garlic salt, to taste (I just sprinkled)

Fry bacon until done but not quite crisp.  Drain grease and add butter and brown sugar.  Cook until sugar is dissolved.  Steam green beans.  Drain and season with garlic salt.  Add to bacon/sugar mixture.  Serve immediately.  If sugar mixture starts to harden, quickly reheat it before pouring over beans.  Makes 4 servings.
