    - brown bacon in a skillet. bacon needs to be crispy, but not overdone. drain some drippings, but reserve enough to cook the sprouts in. - let bacon cool, and then break it up
  • Step 3
    4. add onion and garlic to pan and begin to sautee - add brussel sprouts to pan, stirring occasionally. - cook them until they are the consistency you like (some like them just steamed, some like them mushy-check them throughout the cooking process)
