Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon

 Are you a bacon fan?  Everyone in my family loves bacon so if I want the kids to eat brussels sprouts... just add a little bacon and they will disappear.  This recipe is so simple and easy, but you get a big bang of flavor.  

Ingredient:
3lbs washed and halved brussels sprouts ( I also cut the end off and pulled off any discolored leaves)
4-6 slices of bacon (reserve 2Tbs bacon grease)
salt and black pepper to taste
red chili flakes to taste 

Directions:

Wash brussels sprouts. Then cut off the end and cut into half.  Allow to air dry on a baking sheet until needed.  Meanwhile, cut bacon slices into small pieces and fry until crispy.  Drain bacon pieces on a paper towel and reserve 2 Tbs of the bacon grease.

Toss cut brussels sprouts with salt, black pepper, red chili flakes and hot bacon grease.    Place onto a baking sheet and bake in a 400 degree oven for 35-40 minutes until cooked and caramelized.  Place on a platter and top with browned bacon pieces.  Serve hot or warm.  Enjoy.
