My Favorite Brussels Sprouts

Submitted by Chef #1056339

"This is a recipe adapted from my mother-in-law that introduces Brussels sprouts to the yummy goodness of butter, bacon, onions and mushrooms. The ingredients make for a wonderfully earthy side dish. To make this a vegetarian treat, eliminate the bacon and use butter or your favorite oil for the saute. This dish can be kept warm in a 170* Oven uncovered until time to serve."

Insanely delicious sprouts! I used 3 slices of bacon, 20 brussels sprouts and cut the amount of butter in half. These are so wonderful, that I'd proudly serve these to company...... but would rather keep them all to myself! ;) Thanx for sharing! This is a keeper for sure!
