Very Special Brussels Sprouts

This is my favorite Brussels Sprout recipe given to me by Lynne Kreger–a great cook and a great friend.

2 pounds little Brussels sprouts, outer leaves removed and cut in half

1 large onion, sliced to your liking

5 or 6 garlic cloves, course chop.

Place the above in a single layer on a baking sheet, and sprinkle with EVOO, salt and pepper

Bake at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes.  Remove

In a large skillet, cook 1 package lean bacon which has been cut into 1 inch pieces until browned, but not crisp.

If there is a significant amount of bacon fat, remove  enough so you are left with about 4 T of the fat.

Add the Brussels sprouts, garlic and onion.  Stir over low heat until warmed through.

*I like to sprinkle a little sugar and vinegar or lemon juice on it also, but that’s a personal thing.

Great over the Holidays–Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
