Brussels Sprouts with bacon and onions are so yummy. Our 7 and 10 year old daughters even love eating brussels sprouts – I have to admit, I hated brussels sprouts as a child, but I have grown to enjoy them now too.
Here is a recipe for Brussels Sprouts with bacon and onions – because everything is better with bacon and onions!
Pan Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon & Onions
Ingredients
- 1 16-ounce bag fresh brussels sprouts
- 1 large yellow onion
- 4 slices thick cut bacon, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Wash and dry the brussels sprouts, trim off the bottom stem and slice in half.
- Wash and dry the onion, cut it in half and slice it into 1/4" strips.
- Add the bacon to a large skillet over medium heat and cook until brown and crispy.
- When the bacon is done, remove it from the pan with a slotted spoon and place it on paper towels to drain.
- Pour off all of the bacon grease from the pan, leaving behind approximately one tablespoon.
- Add the olive oil to the reserved bacon grease.
- Turn the heat down to medium, add the Brussels sprouts and onions and toss to combine.
- Cover and cook for 15 minutes, stirring every 3-4 minutes. If it appears to be cooking too high, turn the heat down a bit.
- Uncover and cook for an additional 5-8 minutes or until tender and slightly brown. If you want them even browner, uncover halfway through cooking.
- Sprinkle in the reserved bacon pieces and stir to combine.
- Taste and adjust the salt and pepper to your liking before serving.
