Sweet, tender, and just a little crunch, these Brussel Sprouts with Bacon add a delightful touch to any Thanksgiving meal!
Brandy's Brussel Sprouts with Bacon has been on our Thanksgiving table the last several years and has become our favorite green vegetable on the menu. So much so that Brandy, my daughter-in-law, quadrupled the recipe this year, just so there would be leftovers with the Turkey and Southern Cornbread Dressing.
Shallots, bacon, and chicken stock are all you need to add great flavor to this simple, five ingredient side dish. The night before Brandy washed and trimmed the brussels sprouts chopped the bacon and shallots, and they were ready to saute the next morning.
