Brussel Sprouts and Bacon. A Match Made in Heaven.

Bacon and Dijon Brussel Sprouts

(Makes 4 servings)

~15-20 fresh brussel sprouts, cut in half
2 slices nitrate-free bacon
2 T dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Cook the bacon on a skillet until nice and crispy. Transport the bacon onto a plate and allow to cool. Meanwhile, add the brussel sprouts to the skillet with the bacon fat (I poured some of the fat out, and left about 1 T). Saute the brussel sprouts for about 10 minutes, or until they start to get soft. While they are sauteing, break the bacon into little pieces and add to a bowl. Once the brussel sprouts are cooked, add them to the bowl with the bacon, then add and mix in in the dijon mustard. ENJOY!
