Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon

I’ve never been good at the traditional green bean casserole – no matter what I do.  So that’s the dish I assign to someone else!  But brussels sprouts make a great side dish with turkey too!

What you need:

• 2-3 cups of cleaned and halved Brussels sprouts
• ½ cup cooked bacon
• 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
• 3 Tablespoons melted butter
• ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
• ½ teaspoon salt

How to Do it:

In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together well.  Make sure each sprout is covered well with the butter.

Place in a shallow dish in a single layer and bake at 375 degrees until the sprouts begin to brown.  The Brussels sprouts should be soft, but still firm.

Serve hot.

Makes 4-6 servings
