Made this as part of our Christmas meal and it was fantastic! Easy and delicious. Thank you, Sunny!

My husband and I just loved this recipe. Delicious!

I never tried Brussels sprouts, but my husband loves them, so I tried to find a recipe that I would like. I loved them! The browning of the onions with the sprouts gave great flavor. I did add a splash of apple cider vinegar at the very end. I thought the dish needed a bit of acid. It totally made the dish.

I loved these. Even my son loves it :

Best Brussels Sprouts Ever! Super easy to make and super delicious to eat! They were so good all 5 of my children cleaned their plates! They are now a holiday staple and a family favorite!

This was a great recipe. I tried it on the Holidays and all my kids loved it. Very tasty and easy to prepare. Loved this recipe. I gave it out on recipe cards as my guest left.

This was my first time trying brussels sprouts and I thought that these were really tasty. My husband who doesn't really like vegetables thought these were really good too!

Wonderful...the roasted brussels sprouts with the bacon....mmmmm and so easy! I will use these as another side dish to asparagus for Easter!

LOVE BRUSSELS NOW!!! I had never ate them as a child and never tried them as an adult. But when I tried them last summer I was hooked...try cooking them w/smoked ham instead of bacon...yum yum!

Yummy! I hated brussels sprouts as a kid. My mother would cook frozen ones that were so bitter and bland. Excellent!!

Excellent, finally I successfully cooked brussels sprouts and they were amazing!

These were great with Thanksgiving dinner.I ate the few that were left for breakfast next day.Thanks so much for the recipe.

The best brussel sprouts recipe! Served these on Thanksgiving and got rave reviews. They do take a bit longer than stated time to cook through (used larger sprouts, but well worth the time & effort. Will be making again for Christmas dinner.

This recipe is so delicious. I had a several anti Brussels Sprouts guests during a dinner party last night but this recipe won them over big time! I actually cooked the onions in the bacon fat right away and added the pads of butter after I added the brussels sprouts bc i tend to burn the butter otherwise...I also added a splash of apple cider i had on hand! Delicious!

My guests loved them. I omitted the butter and used shallots. It was more technique and it was perfect.

Very good alternative to just boiling. Gave them a better flavor. Will make again!

I forgot to cut the sprouts in HALF! Woops. Just realized that. They were great anyways with the onion and bacon, now I know that next time I need to cut them!

This was definitely a very flavorful dish. I am going to add this to my weekly menu. Even my 12 and 7 year olds loved it. How many kids say they love brussel sprouts!! They want me to make more. A+ for this recipe.

This is one of the best veggie dishes I have tasted!!! I dont eat meat for medical purposes but I was able to make the bacon and use the drippings. I put some on my babes plate for dinner and he frowned, minutes later he was asking for more!!!!!!! This is a keeper, thank you

For anyone that doesn't think they like Brussels Sprouts they have to try this recipe. They are AWESOME!!! So simple to make and yet so much flavor. Can't say enough good things about it.

My family and I loved these! I don't even like brussel sprouts, but prepared this way, they are great. Guess bacon does make everything better!!

This was a great twist to the way brussel sprouts are typically prepared--and YUMMY!! Not really the healthiest, if that's what you were going for with brussel sprouts, but delicious none the less. My husband who would not touch brussel sprouts before really enjoyed this dish--would definitely make again!
