Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. I've made this twice now and LOVED it both times. So easy, and so quick! The first time, I used pecans instead of hazelnuts, as I had them on hand, and the second time I made it as directed. I actually preferred the pecans! I also added a splash of balsamic vinegar at the end, just to offset the richness of the nuts and bacon. Delightful dish, it's going on my Thanksgiving menu next year!

My husband and I loved these brussel sprouts. I did find that my bacon was lean and didn't produce much fat for sauteing the shredded sprouts. I added a bit (probably less than a tablespoon) of chicken broth for added moisture. I also used pecans, as I didn't have hazelnuts on hand. The flavor was excellent. Next time, I will increase the bacon by a slice or two...this should provide sufficient fat and one can never have too much bacon, can they? :)
