In a saucepan, combine a stick of butter, about a 1.5 cups of brown sugar and six minced garlic cloves. (This should make enough sauce to cover 6-8 bundles.) Cook over medium-low heat. After the butter and sugar melt, continue to cook for about 10 minutes so that the flavors combine.
Pour sauce over green bean bundles and bake at 350 for about 15-20 minutes. You'll know that they're done when the bacon has browned and the beans are tender.
The sauce melts to a very liquid state in the oven. Make sure that you baste the bundle before serving.

Those sound so good! I might try them this year.
