Preparation

Step 1

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.

3. Remove cover, stir in the balsamic, brown sugar, and salt. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring to coat the Brussels sprouts. Add the bacon and continue to cook, turning, until sprouts are well browned. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
