The perfect savory side to go with anything grilled or smoked!

Ingredients

Green beans, trimmed (enough to fill a sheet pan)

1 lb Bacon, cooked and chopped

1T+ reserved bacon grease

3/4 C cashews, rough chopped

1t Garlic, minced

1/2 T flake salt

Pepper to taste

Instructions

1

Set grill to 400F.

2

In a large bowl combine the Green beans, Bacon grease, cashews, and garlic and stir until well coated.

3

Pour the mixture onto a sheet pan and spread to create a single layer (as much as you can). Sprinkle the flake salt and pepper on the beans and cook on the bottom rack of the preheated grill for about 35 minutes or until the beans are cooked through and cashews are golden brown. Add the chopped bacon about 10 minutes before the dish is done. (At the 25-minute mark)
