• Ingredients
• 2 slices center-cut bacon
• 1 teaspoon canola oil
• 1 pound Brussels sprouts,trimmed and halved
• 1/4 cup minced onion or shallot
• 1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar

1. In a large, nonstick skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat, turning until crisp. Remove bacon, crumble, and set aside.

2. Add the oil to the skillet, increase heat to medium-high, add the Brussels sprouts, and let cook for 5 minutes or until the sprouts start to brown. Add the onion, stir, and cook another minute. Add 1/3 cup water, cover, reduce the heat to medium, and cook for 4 minutes.
