In what feels like a lifetime ago, Pete and I decided to start a food column on Drugstore Divas. He loved cooking and I loved spending time with him, so it was a great way for us to bond. One of our first posts was a prosciutto and Brussels sprouts recipe.
This recipe is very similar to that, but instead of prosciutto, which is a little unfamiliar to some people, this has bacon, which is way more common.

Bacon And Brussels Sprouts Ingredients:
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 slices of bacon
- 1 large onion
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
How To Make Bacon And Brussels Sprouts:
Boil a pot of water. Chop off the ends of the Brussels sprouts, then add them to the boiling water. Boil them about 7 minutes.
When they’re done, strain them and immediately spray them with cold water. This will stop the cooking.
Slice them in half.
Add the olive oil to a skillet.
Chop your bacon into small pieces, slice your onions, and put them in a skillet.
Cook them until the bacon is cooked through and the onions are caramelized, about 10 minutes.
Add the Brussels sprouts, cut side down, and salt to the pan. Cook until the Brussels sprouts brown a little, about five minutes.
