Ingredients

  • 3 slices lean bacon
  • 1 pound fresh Brussels sprouts
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced (about 2-3 large cloves)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon bacon fat
  • 1 tablespoon butter (plus 1 teaspoon at the end)

Instructions

  • In a large heavy skillet (I prefer cast iron), cook bacon on low to medium heat, turning midway.
  • While bacon is cooking, prepare Brussels sprouts by cutting off stem end, washing, and cutting each in half.
  • Pat Brussels sprouts dry.
  • Once bacon is done, remove from pan to drain on paper towels.
  • Remove all but 1 tablespoon of bacon fat. Add butter to pan and melt on medium heat.
  • Add garlic, salt, pepper, and Brussels sprouts cut side down to oil in pan. Cover and cook 5 minutes.
  • Uncover, stir, and cook 5 minutes more.
  • Add crumbled bacon and 1 teaspoon of butter. Serve right away.
