Balsamic Bacon Brussels Sprouts

"This Balsamic Bacon Brussels Sprouts recipe are not the brussels sprouts I grew up with, and we can all be thankful for that. Growing up, the only brussels sprouts I knew were the Green Giant frozen ones. You know, the ones in a bag that you heat up in boiling water? They were so gross, not even cheese could save them (you know it’s bad when an unhealthy cheese sauce that smothered all the green that you could see didn’t improve the taste). I always thought that’s how brussels sprouts tasted and I’m happy to report that they’re not. So if you grew up with the same experiences, give fresh brussels sprouts a chance! You’ll love these Balsamic Bacon Brussels Sprouts, because if all else fails – bacon. This recipe is really good. I served them with Hasselback potatoes (smothered in olive oil, Epicure pesto mix, garlic powder, salt, and pepper) and grilled steaks."
