Brussels Sprouts

This is a fast easy yet yummy recipe-NOT healthy. The ultimate test was to get my husband to eat it...this is why I added bacon :) And he enjoyed it so I win!

I washed and tore off all ugly looking leaves on the brussels sprouts. We received some fresh organic ones in our CSA last week.

I parboiled them for about 3 minutes...they should be almost tender (cut one in half to check).



Drain the water and put them in cold ice water , this will keep them nice and green.


In a pan add butter, onion, and bacon-sauté for a few minutes.



While they are cooking cut the brussels sprouts in half then add to the onion bacon mixture.
Cook for a 4-5 more minutes…don’t over cook! When brussels sprouts are over cooked they become bitter tasting! I like mine to be tender yet a tad crisp yet.

Looks healthy right!?

I served them with meatloaf and red potatoes. Yum!
