How To Make bacon brussels sprouts

Step 1

In a large, deep skillet, cook the bacon over moderate-high heat until browned, about 8 minutes.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain.

Add the onion and garlic to the pan, reduce the heat to moderate and cook, stirring until softened, about, 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 4

Remove the softened vegetables from the pan and set aside.
Step 5

Add the Brussels sprouts in batches and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown on the outside.
Step 6

Add the reserved bacon and vegetables to the Brussels sprouts in the pan along with the salt and pepper, to taste, and a pinch of sugar.
Step 7

Cover skillet with a lid and cook, stirring occasionally, until sprouts are tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
