Hi...
I made these for dinner last night and they were very good...my hubby doesn't really like brussels sprouts, but knows they are good for us so I make them every once in a while. Well, he really liked them prepared this way! The bacon adds a wonderful salty flavor and the vinegar adds a hint of spicy tang.
Enjoy!

Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
3 bacon strips
1-1/4 pounds fresh or frozen brussels sprouts, thawed, quartered
1 large onion, chopped
2 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper
towels; drain, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings. Crumble bacon and set aside.
In the same pan, saute brussels sprouts and onion in reserved drippings until
crisp-tender. Add the water, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover
and simmer for 4-5 minutes or until brussels sprouts are tender. Stir in bacon
and vinegar.
Yield: 12 servings.
