How to Make Bacon Mushroom Brussels Sprouts

  1. Trim and halve 1 pound Brussels sprouts.
  2. Place Brussels sprouts in a medium saucepan and cover with 2 cups of water.
  3. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low.
  4. Cover and simmer for 8 minutes, or until crisp-tender.
  5. Drain Brussels sprouts and set aside.
  6. While Brussels sprouts simmer, cook 4 slices bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Approximately 5-7 minutes.
  7. Remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings in the skillet.
  8. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 8 ounces sliced mushrooms to the skillet with bacon drippings. Saute for 3-5 minutes, or until softened.
  9. Pour in 1/4 cup chicken broth, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  10. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, simmer uncovered for 3-4 minutes, or until broth is reduced by half.
  11. Add the cooked Brussels sprouts and crumbled bacon to the skillet. Toss to combine and heat through for 2 minutes.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
