In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon pieces until crisp (about 10 minutes). Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside. Discard all but 2-3 tablespoons of the bacon grease.
In the same skillet with the bacon grease, over medium heat, add butter, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook 3-5 minutes more until the mixture has thickened into a glaze and the sugar has dissolved.
Add drained green beans and reserved bacon and toss to coat in the glaze. Cook 1-2 minutes more, until beans are heated through. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if needed. Serve green beans right away or see make-ahead instructions.
Crock Pot:
Cook bacon as directed in stovetop instructions above. Add reserved bacon grease, green beans and all remaining ingredients to your crock pot. Give everything a good toss so beans are well-coated. Cook on low 4-5 hours or on high 2-3 hours. Stir in reserved bacon and serve.
