Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1/2 pound bacon (cut into small pieces)
2 dozen Brussels sprouts (trimmed & halved)
Salt & pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Fry the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until crispy.
  • Take the bacon out of the pan (set aside until needed) and leave the grease in there.
  • Add the Brussels sprouts to the pan, stir them until they're nicely coated in the bacon grease, and cover the pan with a lid. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 5 minutes.
  • Add the bacon back into the pan. Cook, uncovered, for a few more minutes or until the Brussels sprouts are as tender and/or browned as you want. You can cover the pan again if you wish (especially if you want the Brussels to be super soft); just keep an eye on them so they don't scorch.
  • Season with salt & pepper if needed. Serve immediately.
