28 brussels sprouts cut in half with bottom stem trimmed off and outside leaves discarded
¾ teaspoon finely ground pepper
¼ teaspoon salt, to taste
2 tablespoons of butter
Instructions
In a skillet on medium heat cook the chopped bacon for 5 minutes until the fat has rendered down and the bacon has browned slightly
Add the brussels sprouts and stir to coat in the rendered bacon fat
Sprinkle the pepper and salt on the mixture and stir slightly to coat evenly
Let the brussels sprouts cook for 4 minutes on medium heat until they begin to caramelize, or get a little brown. [b]Here is a new Line that doesn't start a new instruction
Stir well and add butter
Cook for 4 more minutes and stir again - depending on the size of your sprouts, they should be done.
When the sprouts are slightly soft they are done, you may need to cook them a few minutes longer, but remove from the heat once a fork can pass through the entire sprout.
