I can’t believe it’s about to be Thanksgiving! Every year I like to throw in a new recipe. I decided to give this bacon and onion brussel sprouts recipe a dry run in case I wanted to change it a bit. Veggies are always a hard topic in our house I have a very picky kid and husband. I’m not so picky with veggies and I have to say that brussel sprouts get a really bad rap! I had them cooked with bacon and onion at a local restaurant and fell in love with them. I wanted to recreate it at home and here is what I came up with.
These brussel sprouts were so crispy and flavorful. The salt and sweet really gives them a great flavor and takes away that bitter cabbage taste that turns some people off.
I served them with my crockpot turkey breast and a sweet potato for dinner and everyone loved them.
