Bacon and Brussels Sprouts

Bacon and Brussels Sprouts

Author: Ryan Chapman
Servings : 4

Ingredients

  • 1 lb brussels sprouts
  • 4 slices uncured bacon no sugar listed in ingredients
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Instructions

  • Cut the stems off of the Brussels sprouts and then chop them into 1/2" pieces. Often, I just set them on the flat side after cutting off the stem and then just cut a cross in them from top down (cut into fourths, basically). If they are rather large, you might want to cut them more. This recipe would work just fine if they were just halved as well though. It's up to you what size you want the pieces. 1/2" makes them perfect for me.
  • Chop the bacon into 1/2" pieces. Heat a medium skillet over low heat and add the bacon. Slowly simmer the bacon until it begins to crisp and there is plenty of fat rendered in the pan.
  • Add the chopped Brussels sprouts, salt, and pepper to the pan and cook 5-7 minutes. Stir constantly. The dish is done when the Brussels are beginning to brown on the edges and are still firm.
