Ingredients

• 1½ - 2 pounds brussel sprouts
• 5 slices bacon, diced
• 1 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1 Tbsp. butter
• 1 shallot, diced
• ⅓ cup hot water (if needed)
• juice from ½ lemon
• salt & pepper to taste

Directions

• Wash and remove the outer leaves from brussel sprouts, trim stem end and cut in half. If brussel sprout is smaller, you can leave whole & just cut an X in the bottom to allow heat to penetrate.
• In a large skillet, cook bacon until evenly browned, remove bacon from skillet, drain excess grease leaving a couple tablespoons of grease behind.
• Stir butter and olive oil into the bacon grease, add shallots and cook until translucent.
• Add the halved brussel sprouts and pan fry, stirring frequently until the brussel sprouts are golden and tender, yet still slightly firm, about 10 minutes. Be careful not to burn them or they will taste bitter. Add ⅓ cup hot water if pan is getting dry and sprouts arent cooking).
• To re-heat bacon, add it back to the pan for the last 5 minutes of cooking time.
• Squeeze lemon juice over cooked brussel sprouts and season with salt and pepper.
