Recipe type: Side Dish
Serves: 8-10
Ingredients
  • 2 lbs shredded brussel sprouts
  • 1 lb sliced bacon, cut into small pieces
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 1 large segment of garlic or two small, minced
  • ½ tsp salt (plus more to taste if needed)
  • ¼ tsp fresh ground black pepper
  • 1-2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp fresh lemon juice
Instructions
  1. In a large frying pan, cook the bacon pieces until brown and crisp. Remove bacon and leave bacon grease in the pan. If there is a crazy amount of grease, remove some, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the pan.
  2. Sauté the onion and garlic in the bacon grease until they are nice and tender. Add the shredded brussel sprouts, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Sauté until wilted and tender.
  3. Next, add the bacon back in and squeeze ½ tsp of fresh lemon juice over everything. Mix well. Taste and add more salt and pepper if desired.
  4. Serve immediately. (If needed, cover with foil to keep warm.)
  5. Enjoy!
