Brussels Sprouts With Bacon
Ingredients
- 4 strips thick bacon - cut into half inch strips
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 to 1 1/2 pounds brussels sprouts - cut each head in half
- 1 shallot - sliced (or 1/2 onion, sliced)
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- Using a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until it is brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon or spatula to transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate. Leave the bacon grease in the skillet.
- Add the butter to the skillet and melt it over medium heat. Add the sliced shallot (or onion) and the brussels sprouts. Add a little pepper to taste. Cook until the sprouts are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and burning.
- Mix the bacon back into the pan and heat for another minute or two. Serve warm.
