My Favorite Brussels Sprouts image

This is a recipe adapted from my mother-in-law that introduces Brussels sprouts to the yummy goodness of butter, bacon, onions and mushrooms. The ingredients make for a wonderfully earthy side dish. To make this a vegetarian treat, eliminate the bacon and use butter or your favorite oil for the saute. This dish can be kept warm in a 170* Oven uncovered until time to serve.
