Ingredients

  • 4 oz. (4 slices) bacon, chopped
  • 1 lb brussels sprouts, halved
  • 3/4 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 2 Tbsp butter

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook bacon in a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, about 6 - 8 minutes.
  2. Transfer bacon to a plate lined with paper towels, while leaving rendered bacon drippings in pan (it helps to press bacon against sides of pan to really drain it off), there should 2 Tbsp (add more butter if not).
  3. Melt butter along with bacon drippings, then add brussels sprouts and onions and saute until tender, about 10 minutes, while adding in a few tablespoons of water near the end to prevent them from burning if needed. 
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add in walnuts, honey and dijon mustard and toss to evenly coat. 
  5. Cook and toss, 30 seconds. Toss in bacon. Serve warm.
