Snake River Farms Kurobuta Bacon, Green Bean and Mushroom Bundles

By: Mandy Tanner

The holidays call for something out of the ordinary. Team SRF member Mandy Tanner developed a few recipes for savory sides to compliment our spectacular Gold Grade tenderloin roast, so you can have a celebration that is well rounded. This recipe combines our Kurobuta bacon with fresh green beans for a dish that goes well beyond the old green bean casserole.


Ingredients

Bacon, Green Bean and Mushroom Bundles

  • 1 pound Snake River Farms Kurobuta Bacon Buy Now
  • 1 pound green beans, trimmed and blanched*
  • 4 ounces mushrooms, sliced (any variety or a mix such as portobella, beech, cremini, button etc.)
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 4” wooden skewers, optional

Bacon, Green Bean and Mushroom Bundles

Preheat the oven or grill to 425°F.
Lay out a piece of bacon and top with 6-8 green beans, a few sliced mushrooms and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Wrap the bacon around the green beans and mushrooms to form the bundles, and secure with a small skewer. (see notes)
Place on a sheet pan and bake for about 20 minutes, until the bacon is crispy.
Recipe notes: Plan on one bundle per person, and a few extras. It’s best to cover more of the green beans with the bacon in a single layer diagonally, as opposed to wrapping it only around the center. Doing so will ensure the green beans and mushrooms won’t burn, and the bacon can get crispy and cook through. Remove the skewers before placing on a serving platter.
*To blanch the green beans, place in boiling water for 60-90 seconds, then place in an ice bath to stop the cooking. The beans will turn a bright green color and this will help them in the cooking process to keep the ends from burning. Dry the green beans before assembling the bundles.
