Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a great holiday season and got a chance to enjoy a few of my treats. I just finished off the last of the cookies I made for Christmas. It's so nice to know almost all of my treats were free of sugar since I used Swerve (my favorite sugar alternative) in all my recipes. If your resolutions include giving up or decreasing the sugar in your diet, I highly recommend trying Swerve! They are running a special in January and always offer 10% off to my readers with coupon code KATE10.
Enough about the sweets, it's time for vegetables, dinners and breakfasts for a while...well until it's Valentine's recipe time! We enjoyed this brussels sprout recipe for our Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. These were a huge hit by everyone, even the brussels sprout haters liked them...how can you not when bacon is included! This recipe is not a lot of work and certainly isn't high maintenance!
Recipe: Bacon Brussels Sprouts
Ingredients
- 3-4 slices bacon, sliced into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 lb brussels sprouts, halved or quartered depending on size
- 1/4 cup onions, diced
- 1/2 cup water
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place the sliced bacon in a skillet over medium heat and cook until tender but not full cooked
- Remove all but 2 tbsp of the bacon grease and toss in the onions, cook until onions are translucent and bacon is fully cooked
- Add the brussels sprouts, stir to coat with grease
- Stir in the water and sprinkle with some salt and pepper
- Turn temperature down to low and place a lid on the skillet
- Let cook for 30-60 minutes or until very tender. The longer they cook, the more the sprouts take on the bacon flavor
- Salt and pepper to taste
