Brussels Sprouts with Bacon, Garlic, and Shallots

Truthfully my boyfriend and I had never tried brussel sprouts before. This recipe was awesome! We didn't have any shallots on hand so we just used yellow union instead and only made half of a batch. We also substituted garlic cloves for some jarred minced garlic. Will make again.

This recipe is delicious, doesn't require too many ingredients and is quick to make! I had never tasted brussel sprouts and this recipe has ensured that I will eat them for the rest of my life. The only change I made was to add smoked bacon - I think it's a matter of what your preferences are. I agree with previous posters - it is very important to let the brussel sprouts brown a little, this gives them a great taste. Again, a great tasting recipe that doesn't take too much time to make.

I made this for Thanksgiving and it was great!!! Even those that don't typically like Brussels sprouts gave it a try! I couldn't get enough of it! I actually crave this recipe! Bacon definitely compliments Brussels sprouts very well!

Our family loves this reciepe and we have been making for three years. I have read some of the othe rreviews and the key to flavor is to carmelize, so your oven is not hot enough, if you put too many on the pan, like trying to double the receipe , it will take longer to carmelize, and i add the shallots with the breussels as my family likes them done sooner, I also quarter the sprouts. Watch carefully once they start to carmelize, they can go quickly to burn! This was the receipe that got the younf kids to eat Brussels.

Everyone loved these- even those who "hated" brussel sprouts!
