1
Prepare the Brussels Sprouts
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged leaves. Cut each sprout in half lengthwise.
2
Cook the Bacon
In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Once cooked, remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on paper towels to drain excess fat. Reserve about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet.

3
Sauté the Brussels Sprouts
In the same skillet with the reserved bacon grease, add the halved Brussels sprouts. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Sauté over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the Brussels sprouts are tender and caramelized.
4
Combine with Bacon
Once the Brussels sprouts are cooked, chop the cooked bacon into bite-sized pieces and add it back to the skillet. Toss everything together to combine and heat through for another 2-3 minutes.
5
Serve
If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top before serving. Serve hot as a side dish or snack.
