Description

Brown Sugar Bacon Brussel Sprouts are the perfect mix of savory and sweet. Tangy brussels sprouts are cooked tender on the stovetop with a flavorful brown sugar bacon glaze.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds fresh brussels sprouts
  • 5 strips bacon
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock (plus additional if needed)
  • 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, cook bacon until crisp and remove to drain on a paper towel lined plate. (Do not drain skillet.)
  2. While the bacon is cooking, remove any wilted leaves and excess stems from the brussels sprouts and cut them in half.
  3. Sauté the brussels sprouts in the bacon drippings until they begin to brown and soften.
  4. Crumble the cooled bacon into bite sized pieces and add to the brussels sprouts.
  5. Add garlic, lemon juice, and chicken stock and stir to mix.
  6. Cover and stir occasionally, allowing the brussels sprouts to simmer/steam until they are fork-tender. Add additional stock if necessary. My brussels sprouts were fork-tender in about 30 – 35 minutes.
  7. Stir in the brown sugar and soy sauce and stir to coat the brussels sprouts.
  8. Allow the brussels sprouts to simmer 2 – 3 minutes more.
  9. Serve and enjoy!
