Alright, after I put the text on top of these photos, I did a search on google for brussel sprouts. Turns out it’s brussels sprouts. What in the world? I guess I’ve never even paid attention to pronouncing that extra ‘s’ before. Just give me some brussel sprouts!
I did feel better when I searched pinterest and it was about 50/50 people calling them brussel sprouts vs. brussels sprouts.
Ah, well. I digress.
These brussels sprouts (see that doesn’t sound right to me) were a HIT! They’re perfectly sweet and savory in every bite. And doesn’t bacon make everything better?
Yes. Yes, it does.
Make these and you may as well make them for Thanksgiving, too.

That looks like one awesome brussels sprouts preparation! Love the addition of cranberries, sounds like it would add a nice sweet flavor 🙂
This looks awesome! I love to find & save recipes as PDFs for use on my iPad in the kitchen. Really wishing you offered a “print” option for this for me to save & try later…
Hi Jac, The print feature is coming in my redesign by the end of the year! 🙂 Thank you so much for your input!
This sounds delicious! Can’t wait to try it.
Do you use cooked or uncooked bacon?
Thanks!
Hi Wendy, I used uncooked bacon. Happy Cooking!
