"This is so delicious that it converted a non brussels sprout eater to a faithful one. First you fry up bacon, saute' the sprouts in the fat left over, add a little white wine or chicken broth and reduce down. Then put into a casserole dish with cover with lemon slices and back for delicious tasting brussels sprouts."
