Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound brussel sprouts
  • 5 slices bacon
  • 1 small red onion (diced)
  • 1 granny smith apple (diced)
  • 2 Tbsps butter
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 3 Tbsps brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • kosher salt, pepper
  • Optional toppings: goat cheese, candied pecans

Instruction

  • Cut the brussel sprouts in half lengthwise, set aside.
  • Use kitchen scissors to cut the bacon into bite size pieces directly into a skillet over medium heat. Cook 5 minutes, remove bacon pieces from the pan and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.
  • Add the red onions to the skillet with bacon grease over medium heat. Cook 3-5 minutes and set aside.
  • Into the same skillet add the apples. Cook 3-5 minutes and set aside.
  • Add butter to the same skillet, still over medium heat. When the butter is melted, place the brussel sprouts cut side down in the skillet. Cook 4 minutes, then add the chicken broth and brown sugar. Cook an additional 4 minutes, gently stirring the mixture, but keeping the brussel sprouts cut side down.
  • Flip brussel sprouts over and add the bacon, onions, apples, dried cranberries, kosher salt, and pepper. Stir together and cook 1 more minute. Taste for seasoning, add more kosher salt and pepper if needed.
  • Serve with goat cheese and candied pecans over top if desired.
