Sweet and Spicy Brussels Sprouts

Submitted by sunflowerseed

"I received the inspiration for this dish while trying to figure out what to do with a bag of frozen brussels sprouts I found in the freezer. My husband and I both enjoyed the end result. Adjust the ingredients to your individual tastes. Leave the bacon out if you want it vegetarian. You could use fresh brussels sprouts as well; they would probably need to be cooked for a few minutes first."
