Photo: Bacon Brussels Sprouts Recipe
Ingredients
- 12 ounces thickly sliced lean bacon, cut crosswise into thin strips
- 1 Spanish onion, thinly sliced
- 8 garlic cloves, halved lengthwise
- 2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved, if desired
- Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Sugar, optional
Directions
In a large, deep skillet, cook the bacon over moderately-high heat until browned, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain. Add the onion and garlic to the pan, reduce the heat to moderate and cook, stirring, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the softened vegetables from the pan and set aside. Add the Brussels sprouts in batches and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown on the outside. Add the reserved bacon and vegetables to the Brussels sprouts in the pan along with salt and pepper, to taste, and a pinch of sugar. Cover skillet with a lid and cook, stirring occasionally, until sprouts are just tender, 10 to 12 minutes.

Super good, it needs some acid so we add lemon juice we also only use 6 ounces of bacon and it is great.

This is a huge hit year after year! The ingredients aren't difficult to find and the prep and cooking is very easy. The brussel sprouts are delicious. This year, as a treat to myself, I used pancetta instead of bacon. So flavorful and not quite as salty!!!

It was a hit at the family Thanksgiving dinner. I had made another veggie dish as a back up in case no one liked it. Had a lot of broccoli and green beans left. But happy to eat those leftovers knowing this was a hit. I even made a vegetarian version just with olive oil and butter. Will definitely make it again. Thanks Emeril.
