Ingredients
- 4 strips bacon
- 1 lb. Brussels sprouts
- 1/2 medium sweet onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 2 tsp. FOX POINT SEASONING
- 1 TB. sugar (brown, granulated or raw)
- 1 TB. butter
- 1/4-1/2 tsp. SALT, to taste (Melissa uses Sea Salt)
- 1/4-1/2 tsp. freshly CRACKED BLACK PEPPER
Preparation
Step 1
In a skillet, cook the bacon to crisp-tender. While the bacon is cooking, slice the Brussels sprouts into halves starting at the stem, cutting off the stem ends. Very small ones can be left whole. Remove the bacon and all but approximately 3 TB. of drippings from the skillet. Put the Brussels sprouts, onion and garlic in the skillet and cook until the onion and garlic are softened. Add the FOX POINT SEASONING, sugar and bacon. Stir, cover, and cook until the sprouts are the desired tenderness, 20-30 minutes. Stir once or twice during cooking, and adjust the heat down if they start sticking or up if they seem too watery. Remove the cover for the last 10 minutes if you'd like some of the liquid to evaporate. Add the butter in small pieces around the skillet. Add SALT and PEPPER to taste while the butter is melting.
Melissa adds, "This recipe is very forgiving. Fat and seasonings can be adjusted to taste."
