Notes
- Prepare your brussels sprouts by washing them. Then cut a thin slice off the bottom of the stems with a sharp knife. Remove any damaged or brown leaves. Finally, slice them in half lengthwise.
- You'll want to cut your bacon into fairly small pieces.
- It is best to use a regular cut of bacon as thick cut bacon will take longer to cook.
- Choose sprouts that are similar in size and shape so that they cook at the same rate.
