Creamy Brussels Sprouts with Bacon is a delicious and satisfying dish that combines the nutty flavor of Brussels sprouts with the rich creaminess of a sauce and the smoky goodness of bacon. Here’s a simple recipe to make it:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 4 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Grated Parmesan cheese for garnish (optional)
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until it becomes crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set it aside, leaving the bacon drippings in the skillet.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet with the bacon drippings and cook until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add the halved Brussels sprouts to the skillet and cook them with the onions and garlic, stirring occasionally, until they become tender and slightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.
- Once the Brussels sprouts are cooked, pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Allow the cream to simmer gently over medium-low heat for 3-4 minutes, until it thickens slightly and coats the Brussels sprouts.
- Season the creamy Brussels sprouts with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the cooked bacon pieces.
- Transfer the creamy Brussels sprouts with bacon to a serving dish. If desired, garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley before serving.
- Serve hot as a delicious side dish alongside your favorite main course.
Enjoy your creamy Brussels sprouts with bacon!
