Baked Arkansas Green Beans

My family would drink the sauce to this
green bean dish, if I would let them!
Your family will never look at
Green Beans the same again.
These beans are sweet and savory
and smell fabulous in the oven.

Ingredients:
5 (15 ounce) cans green beans, drained
7 slices bacon
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
7 teaspoons soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder

Directions:
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the drained green beans in a 9x13 inch baking pan.
Cook bacon in a microwave on microwave-safe plate
for 2 minutes until slightly cooked.
Lay the bacon on top of the green beans.
Combine the brown sugar, melted butter, soy sauce,
and garlic powder in a small bowl.
Pour the butter mixture over the green beans and bacon.
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
