Brussel Sprouts with Bacon

Brussel Sprouts with Apples and Bacon

During the winter holidays Brussel Sprouts shows up at many meals. Here is a quick and easy recipe, bacon makes it really yummy, but sometimes I replace the bacon grease with olive oil and omit the bacon.

20 Brussel Sprouts

½ peeled and diced apple

6 slices of bacon cooked and crumbled

¼ diced sweet yellow onion

1 clove of garlic, diced

1 teaspoon of thyme

Salt and pepper to your taste

Here’s how it done:

1. Cook bacon, remove and let cool before you crumble it

2. Leave about a teaspoon of bacon grease in the pan and sauté the onions until soft, add the diced garlic and sauté’ for about 2 minutes. Remove and set aside

3.To the pan add the Brussel sprouts, diced apple, thyme, salt and pepper, toss and sauté until sprouts are fork tender

4. Add the crumbled bacon, onion and garlic, toss some more and serve, oh so yummy!
