Bellas Brussels Sprouts With Bacon Recipes

BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND BACON RECIPE

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.
