Thanksgiving Day is just a few days away and I thought I would squeeze in one more Thanksgiving Day related recipe.
A couple of nights ago I prepared this dish for my family and it was too wonderful not to share with you. If you’ve never had brussels sprouts or you have and they weren’t very good, this is the recipe for you! It is so delicious and simple, it would make a perfect side dish for your Thanksgiving feast or for any meal. Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving!

I would go nuts for these! I feel like brussel sprouts are starting to become the new “it” vegetable…haha. I love the addition of bacon. What wouldn’t bacon make better?
Hey Alice
I love your blog. I have been watching it ever since D’s wedding! There is so much great stuff here, I am beginning to wonder why we don’t all just celebrate the holidays at your house:) Looks like there would be a pretty fantastic spread. Also, I couldn’t help but smile when I saw your brussel sprout recipe because it is so similar to mine. The only difference is I use pancetta and pearl onions in an apple cider reduction. Anyway, thought you should know, I am roasting some sweet potatoes right now to make your delicious pie. You are truly amazing and inspirational. Happy Thanksgiving:)
Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe! It will be part of my Thanksgiving dinner for sure.
Love the addition of onions and bacon here! Looks delicious
Great looking side dish! Bacon always works for me. Happy Thanksgiving!
I’ve made brussel sprouts this way for a while but now add a splash of balsamic when they’re all done. Delish!
This looks lovely! Enjoy your thanksgiving =D.
Delish – just had this tonight and it was tasty!

I tried the brussel sprouts and served them with my Thanksgiving dinner. What a hit! They were yummy! Thanks for the recipe!!!
Your brussels sprouts look wonderful. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Amazing combination!!… would never have occured to me… bacon and brussel sprouts both r my favourites!!!. I am a regular visitor of ur blog…
Wow we must be on the same food wavelength or something, I made brussel sprouts with salted pork (i.e. fatback) for Thanksgiving. Looks delicious with the bacon!
We just tried this out last night and I can’t wait to get home so I can finish the leftovers before anyone else gets home !
Thanks for posting this. I tried brussel sprouts for the first time tonight using this recipe and enjoyed them. Family liked them too.
I had never heard of sauteing brussel sprouts until this Thanksgiving when my mom made them. Now, I’m seeing recipes for them all over the place. Looks delicious!
My dad jusr brought me a whole bag of brussel sprouts. I’ve never tried those before and don’t know how to cook them. Now that I’ve read your blog, I am definitely going to give it a try tomorrow.
Hmm delicious, thanks for sharing this amazing foods.

This is a great idea, I will try it today.
Bacon with anything is good!
This is also good if you some pepper sauce on top.
This is a very good recipe thanks!
This is fantastic! Thanks for such a great recipe!
This is really good information. You have done an excellent job of research and writing.
How many does this feed?
I added red bell peppers and barbeque seasoning and it was delicious.
I make them like this, except I add minced garlic and splash beer in and braise the brussel sprouts for about 5 minutes. I can’t explain how good this is! The bacon and onions and beer make a happy party in your mouth with the brussel sprouts.
Hi Christy,
There is a brewery near our house which serves fantastic food. They use a splash of beer in their vegetable side dishes and it is amazing!
I’m so glad I found you on Pinterest tonight! Hubby and I made this as soon as we finished reading it. Can we just say scrumptious, yum! Hubby was not a fan of brussels sprouts until now. Thank you!
Made these with turkey bacon, sorry must cut fat calories … They were awesome!
