Brussels Sprouts With Bacon
I fry a lot of bacon around here. Many of my recipes have bacon as a main ingredient. Have you tried my Bacon Pesto Pasta, anyone? It’s to die for. The flavor combination is too delicious to even describe. Bacon tends to do that to most dishes. And don’t even get me started on Brussels sprouts! They have the best texture whether they’re fried, baked, steamed, you name it! And they retain all the taste of the spices or toppings you cook them with. So, I’m sure you can imagine what an amazing combination these Brussels Sprouts with Bacon made.
This is an incredibly easy recipe with simple ingredients and directions. First step is of course to fry the bacon. I usually cut my bacon (using kitchen scissors) into small bite sized pieces before frying. It makes the job so much easier, quicker and the bacon fits better in the skillet this way. Once the bacon is perfectly crispy, you’ll store it on a paper towel while you cook the Brussels sprouts. Make sure to leave the bacon grease in the skillet! Bacon grease is a great alternative to butter or oil because it gives your dish a richer, more savory taste.
For this recipe I used frozen Brussels sprouts because it cut the cook time significantly. But feel free to use fresh Brussels sprouts if you desire. They might need a little extra time to tenderize in the skillet so be sure to adjust the cook time accordingly. The frozen ones took less than 10 minutes to heat through all the way. Once the Brussels sprouts are done cooking, you’ll add the bacon pieces back into the skillet and mix everything together for the final touch. Simple as that!
I can’t emphasize enough how easily and quickly you can have this side dish on your table! It’s the perfect compliment to any dinner. I personally made them alongside my Pierogies With Garlic Green Beans recipe. But if that’s too many green vegetables for you in one meal, you can also try making them alongside something meaty, such as these BBQ Ribs.

You make brussel sprouts look so good @eyesclosedcookin! I love your photos and the recipe does look very easy to prepare. Healthy too!
I am surprised that frozen brussel sprouts cook in half the time than fresh ones? I realised that the okras are the same too. I wonder why.
Thank you! Brussels sprouts are seriously addicting. I think the reason frozen veggies cook faster is because the process of freezing and thawing makes the veggies not as "firm" as fresh ones. So they heat through a lot faster.
Ah that makes sense. The okras too become really soft after thawing.
I have not tried much brussel sprouts and you have tempted me to :)
Thank you and happy Sunday to you!
