DECADENT BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON
These are the best tasting Brussels Sprouts I've ever had. The flavors merge together perfectly. I challenge a Brussels sprouts hater to try these and not change their mind. It's not a quick recipe, but you won't regret the time put into it. This is a recipe that I got from Diners Drive-ins and Dives from an episode in San Jose CA. The recipe was posted incorrectly on the food network website, so I'm posting it here from memory, with alterations to the amount since it was being made in bulk for a restaurant.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Start your bacon slowly cooking on low heat, flipping them when necessary and removing when fully cooked. Begin boiling or steaming Brussels sprouts for approximately 10 minutes.
- When the Brussels sprouts are done, cut them in half to assure they will cook evenly all the way through. In an oven-safe bowl or pan, apply a sheet of parchment paper over a sheet of foil large enough to cover your mound of Brussels sprouts. Mix together your Brussels sprouts, chopped garlic, sage, bay leaves and tablespoon olive oil, and lemon. Put on to parchment paper. Add the crumbled bacon, the butter and salt and pepper to the top before closing the foil completely over the mixture. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes.
- Right before the Brussels sprouts are ready to come out, begin to heat up the chicken stock on the stove. Remove Brussels sprouts from oven and carefully move the mixture into the boiling chicken stock. Cook on high heat, moving the mixture constantly in the pan or stirring. When done the liquid will all be absorbed and the edges will caramelize slightly. This step was done in the restaurant to reheat the already cooked Brussels sprouts so it could be used if your having a dinner party and want to reheat before the guest come over or it could be skipped but I think the chicken stock adds an important flavor element.
- Make sure all of the bay leaves, lemon slices and (if using whole leaves) sage are removed before serving.

Tips:
- Use fresh Brussels sprouts. Fresh Brussels sprouts are firm and have a bright green color. Avoid sprouts that are yellowed or have brown spots.
- Trim the Brussels sprouts. Cut off the stem end of each Brussels sprout and remove any loose outer leaves.
- Parboil the Brussels sprouts. Parboiling helps to soften the Brussels sprouts and make them more tender. To parboil, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain the Brussels sprouts and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Season the Brussels sprouts. Toss the parboiled Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs.
- Roast the Brussels sprouts. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are tender and browned.
- Add the bacon. While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, cook some bacon in a skillet until it is crispy. Crumble the bacon and set it aside.
- Garnish with the bacon and serve. Once the Brussels sprouts are roasted, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Garnish with the crumbled bacon and serve immediately.
Conclusion:
Bacon-topped Brussels sprouts are a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are simple to make and can be customized to your liking. You can add different seasonings to the Brussels sprouts, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs. You can also use different types of bacon, such as turkey bacon or vegetarian bacon. No matter how you make them, bacon-topped Brussels sprouts are sure to be a hit!
