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
- 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!

The best part about this recipe was that Nick loved it so much that he actually requested it again the following day!
