Brussel Sprouts and Bacon. A Match Made in Heaven.

Dijon and Bacon Brussel Sprouts

Ingredients

  • ~15-20 fresh brussel sprouts, cut in half **
  • 
2 slices nitrate-free bacon
  • 2 T dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the bacon on a skillet until nice and crispy. Transport the bacon onto a plate and allow to cool. Meanwhile, add the brussel sprouts to the skillet with the bacon fat (I poured some of the fat out, and left about 1 T). Saute the brussel sprouts for about 10 minutes, or until they start to get soft. While they are sauteing, break the bacon into little pieces and add to a bowl. Once the brussel sprouts are cooked, add them to the bowl with the bacon, then add and mix in in the dijon mustard. ENJOY!
