Ingredients
6 slices bacon, cut into bite-size pieces
½ onion, diced
1 (12 ounce) package fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed and sliced
2 tablespoons white sugar, or to taste (Optional)
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Place bacon pieces in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 7 to 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels, leaving grease in the skillet.
Cook onion in the bacon grease in the skillet until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add Brussels sprouts and toss to coat in the bacon grease. Cook and stir until browned and tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in sugar, salt, and black pepper; sprinkle in bacon pieces.
Cook’s Note
I like to add a little bit of sugar to soften the taste for my kids, but this dish is delicious without the sugar, and when I leave it out, I don't tell them, and they never say a word.
