If you know me, you know I love the simple, easy recipes that are full of flavor. This one is definitely one of those. Bacon has so much flavor, you don’t need much else. I love that as the food industry is changing, there are more options for healthy food in all the stores, bacon included. You don’t have to search all around the world to get a decent bacon option anymore. This recipe is great for holiday side dishes, to double and make for a crowd, or just to enjoy during the week with a great protein.

1 lbs of Brussels sprouts, halved
1 lb of sugar free, nitrate free bacon (I use Pederson Farms)
