Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Bacon Brussels Sprouts.
Step 1
Start by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat and adding your bacon pieces.
Step 2
Cook them, stirring occasionally, until they turn a beautiful golden brown, which should take about 7 to 10 minutes.
Step 3
Once they’re perfectly crispy, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain, but don’t toss that delicious bacon grease just yet—it’s going to add amazing flavor to your dish.
Step 4
Next, in the same skillet, toss in the diced onion and sauté it in the leftover bacon grease until it becomes soft and translucent, which should take around 5 minutes.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to introduce the sliced Brussels sprouts.
Step 6
Add them to the skillet and give everything a good toss to ensure the sprouts are well-coated in that savory bacon grease.
Step 7
Cook and stir for about 5 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are nicely browned and tender.
Step 8
If you like a hint of sweetness, sprinkle in some sugar along with salt and black pepper, mixing everything together well.
Step 9
Finally, return those crispy bacon pieces to the skillet, stirring to combine all the flavors.
Step 10
Enjoy the delightful aroma and the satisfying crunch as you serve this delicious dish!.
