Brussels Sprouts With Onion and Bacon image

Lisa's right, these roasted Brussels sprouts are delicious and tasty. Plus, it's super easy to prepare. The Brussels are tender and have a delicious savory flavor (thanks to butter, garlic, and diced onion). Our favorite part, though, are the crispy bits of smoky bacon in every bite. This makes a wonderful side dish.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 lb lean bacon, finely diced
1 c diced yellow onion
2 clove garlic, minced
2 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed
2 c chicken broth
4 Tbsp (1/2 stick) butter or margarine

Steps:

  • 1. In a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, fry the bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon and drain on paper towels.
  • 2. Saute the onion and garlic in the bacon grease over low heat until soft, about 3 minutes.
  • 3. Add the Brussels sprouts and stir them around so that they are coated with the bacon grease. Add the broth and cook, covered, over low heat until the sprouts are easily pierced with a fork, about 12-15 minutes.
  • 4. Stir in the butter and bacon just before serving.
