Bacon Brussels

Chop the raw bacon into ½ inch pieces (scissors are helpful here). Heat a large cast iron or non-stick skillet on high and place the raw bacon bits. Cook for about 5 minutes until the fat has rendered and the pieces have crisped up. Remove the pieces with a slotted spoon, leaving the bacon fat in the pan. Add the brussels sprouts to the hot pan and shake to get them evenly distributed. Cook them, completely undisturbed, for 5-8 minutes so they can develop a nice color. Next, flip/stir with a spatula. Continue cooking and stirring for another 10 minutes, or until they are tender and brown. Option to garnish with parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
