Preparation

Step 1

Prepare the Brussels sprouts by trimming the stem ends and any discolored leaves. Cut in half through the stem.

In a 12-inch skillet, cook the bacon and onion over medium-low heat until the bacon is crisp and the onion is browned, about 10 minutes.

Drain on a paper towel lined plate. Add the Brussels sprouts, water and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the skillet; increase the heat to medium.

Cover and simmer until the Brussels sprouts are bright green, about 5-6 minutes. Uncover the pan and cook until the liquid has evaporated and the sprouts are tender, about 3 minutes.

Turn off the heat and stir in the bacon, butter and vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Can be frozen.
