Ingredients

  • 5 Slices of bacon thick slices
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 1 pound brussels sprouts cut in half
  • Salt
  • ground black pepper
  • red pepper flakes optional

Instructions

  • In the same pan with bacon fat, melt butter over high heat.
  • Add Brussels sprouts and cook, stirring occasionally, until sprouts are golden brown, 5-8 minutes.

Notes

  • For an added pop of flavor you can add some red pepper flakes top before serving

  • Cooking the Brussels sprouts in the pan with the bacon fat will give additional flavor, but if you're trying to reduce your fat intake you can remove with bacon grease before adding the butter.
