Huckabee recipe


Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is probably best known in recent years for losing 120 lbs. while in office. Surely that takes some doing, with all the foodie events politicians have to attend. (But he also took up jogging. Religiously.) The following recipe comes from a brief New York Times story Tuesday about Huckabee, author of "Quit Digging Your Grave With a Knife and Fork" (Time Warner).
The recipe comes from his wife Janet. It was included with a "Farwell Arkansas" card from the couple. Mike Huckabee is a Republican candidate for President.

GREEN BEAN BUNDLES
2 cans whole green beans
1 pound bacon
1 cup brown sugar
¼ cup of butter
3 tsp. garlic salt

Drain beans and make bundles of 4 or 5. Cut a piece of bacon in half and wrap around each bundle. Place bundles in baking dish. Melt last three ingredients in saucepan and pour over bundles. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes or until bacon seems done.
