Description
A delightful combination of crispy bacon and earthy Brussels sprouts, perfect as a side dish or a standalone treat.
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound bacon, cut into small pieces
- 2 dozen Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, fry the bacon pieces until crispy, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Transfer the crispy bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the grease in the skillet.
- Add the halved Brussels sprouts to the skillet and stir to coat them in the bacon grease.
- Cover the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low, cooking for about 5 minutes to steam the Brussels sprouts.
- Return the crispy bacon to the pan with the Brussels sprouts and cook uncovered for a few more minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sprouts are tender or browned.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
Notes
For a twist, add garlic or sprinkle with cheese before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
