A guilt free way to eat bacon! These Brussel Sprouts are still delicious on their own but the bacon really adds some delicious flavor to this side dish. I serve a vegetable to our 3 kids every night and I could not find one they all agreed on until now. This is a recipe the kids get excited about and we eat this side dish about twice a week.
Bacon Brussel Sprouts
Ingredients
- Bacon-organic Nitrite/Nitrate free
- Brussel sprouts
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the bacon until it’s crispy, then crumble into small pieces.
- Cut the bottoms off of the Brussel sprouts and then cut them in half. Steam the Brussel sprouts for approximately 15 minutes. I do not recommend boiling them. It changes the flavor and consistency in an unfavorable way.
- In a bowl toss the Brussel sprouts with a tbsp of olive oil and the bacon pieces.
- Salt and pepper to taste.

This sounds delish! Can’t wait to try it. I was unaware Sprouts were so high in protein.
I find if I cut the bacon up before cooking, it makes it much easier to have nice uniform bacon bits to sprinkle throughout whatever I am serving. It is also easier to cook the bacon as you just stir them around the fry pan.
Love your feedback on cutting the bacon before cooking, I’ll have to try that! Enjoy! Erin
