I am so far behind on my postings that it's not even funny. Hubby was unemployed for a while, and everything was so crazy that I mainly just stuck to old tried and true recipes. I'm going to try to catch myself up on all the new stuff we've tried, though, so you've been warned. ;-)
These were AMAZING. I mean, our family is crazy about Brussels sprouts and bacon, so there really was never a question. I took these to our family Christmas Eve celebration, though, and even the folks who don't like Brussels said that they were good! The general consensus is that they don't even taste like Brussels, since the bacon flavor is so predominant. However you want to look at it, they were great. Not to mention easy. I can honestly see doing these as a side dish over the weekend or something (when you have a bit more time). I used those sprouts that come cleaned and in the steaming bags, mainly just because I'm lazy. Worked perfectly, though! I forgot to take a pic of this one, but if you follow the link, you can see hers. Mine were basically the same. Some of the larger sprouts worked better when cut in half, so mine we're necessarily as pretty. Ha!
