Brussels & Bacon

Brussel Sprouts & bacon for a food prep day.

Ingredients
  

  • 4 lbs Brussel Sprouts
  • 12 slices of bacon
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees
  • Line 2 large sheet pans with foil.
  • Make sure that all your brussel sprouts are around the same size. So if there are some really large ones cut them in half. You can leave the little ones as is.
  • Spread the brussel sprouts out evenly on the two pans.
  • Cut the slices of bacon into one inch cuts and distribute them evenly between both pans. (I usually cut six up first and put that on one pan and then cut the other six and put that on the other pan.)
  • Sprinkle with salt & pepper.
  • Place the two pans into the oven and bake for 40 minutes.(Usually around the 20 minute mark I pull the pans out and mix them around with a wooden spoon
  • After 40 minutes, I combine the two pans onto one and put back in the oven for 5 more minutes.
  • Salt & pepper a little more to taste.

Notes

This recipe can be cut in half. I like to make this much so that the mister and I can eat this for a few days with whatever protein we have for lunch.
This is a great side for dinner and on my lazy days I've even been known to just eat a bowl of brussels and bacon for dinner.
Enjoy!
