Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces bacon
12 ounces pork tenderloin, cut into thin strips
1 medium red onion, sliced
1 teaspoon dried sage
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pound carrots, peeled and cut in 1/2-inch chunks
1 pound Brussels sprouts, quartered
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup dried cranberries
Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
Mashed potatoes, to serve

Steps:

1. In a large, deep skillet over medium-high, cook the bacon until crisp, about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, leaving the fat in the skillet. Over medium-high, add the pork strips and sear to brown, about 2 minutes. It does not need to cook through. Transfer the pork to a plate and set aside. 2. Lower the heat to medium and add the onion, sage and cinnamon. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the onions begin to brown at the edges. Add the carrots and Brussels sprouts and saute for 5 to 6 minutes, or until starting to brown. Add the broth, then cover and cook for 10 minutes. 3. Return the pork to the pan, add the cranberries, then cook, uncovered, for another 5 to 6 minutes, or until the pork is cooked. Season with salt and black pepper. Serve over mashed potatoes, crumbling the bacon on top.
