Cooking
- In a skillet, cook the bacon pieces until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and set it aside on a paper towel to drain. Keep the bacon fat.

Serving
- Serve warm, offering a delicious combination of sweet and savory flavors, enhanced by the crunch of bacon and optional pecans.
Notes
Make sure to cut the Brussels sprouts evenly so they cook at the same rate. Don’t skip the bacon fat—it adds great flavor!
