Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh brussels sprouts

• Using kitchen scissors, cut the bacon strips in half lengthwise, then cut them into small pieces.
• Add them to a large frying pan, and cook over medium heat until crispy. It should take around 25 minutes. You want all of the fat cooked down.

• Once the brussels sprouts are cooked, transfer them to another paper towel lined plate to allow the excess grease to drain.
• Transfer the bacon and brussels sprouts to a serving bowl and mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
