Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 6 whole garlic cloves
- 4 to 6 slices bacon
- 3/4 pound (about 12) Brussels sprouts, cut in 1/2
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
In a large skillet melt the butter over medium heat. Put the garlic cloves in the skillet and brown completely. Remove the garlic to a small bowl. Add the bacon to the skillet and cook until crisp. Transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain, then cut into small pieces and set aside.
Put the sprouts in the skillet with bacon grease, flat side down, and saute until they begin to brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn them over, increase the heat to medium-high and add the sugar and the broth. Cook for a few minutes, then add the cooked bacon and the garlic cloves. Cover and cook for 2 more minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

Loved this recipe! Even my family members who don't care for brussel sprouts liked this one! I chose to melt the butter in the bacon grease to save time and added the garlic cloves when I added the broth/sugar combo. This is a great recipe for the extra sprouts you may have if your stalk was too big for Thanksgiving, too!

Loved it!! My girls will eat Brussels sprouts but normally they're frozen and I just steam them. This was totally different and sooo tasty. I used turkey bacon and brown sugar. After I removed them from the skillet, I sprinkled a little more brown sugar on top and covered with foil.
Will be making this again and again. Thanks Melissa and Paula

I am a brussels sprouts lover, and this recipe was very tasty. Did not use any chicken stock, so I just cooked the sprouts a few minutes longer, and they still turned out tender. Also did not use any sugar, which is just my preference. Browning the sprouts probably was the reason this turned out so well (and can anything with bacon be bad??
