When we have company, these sprouts are my go-to side dish because they look and taste fantastic. Fancy them up a notch with pancetta instead of bacon. —Mandy Rivers, Lexington, South Carolina

Ingredients

2 pounds fresh Brussels sprouts (about 10 cups)
8 bacon strips, coarsely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 cup chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Trim Brussels sprouts. Cut sprouts lengthwise in half; cut crosswise into thin slices. In a 6-qt. stockpot, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally. Add garlic; cook 30 seconds longer. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels.
Add Brussels sprouts to bacon drippings; cook and stir until sprouts begin to brown lightly, 4-6 minutes. Stir in broth, salt and pepper; cook, covered, until Brussels sprouts are tender, 4-6 minutes longer. Stir in bacon mixture.

Loved this dish! I did add a little onion, but that's the only change I made. SO delicious!

This is a great side dish we used for this Easter dinner and was a big hit, added a dash of red pepper flakes and viola you have a Chip worthy addition!

This is an awesome recipe. It is not surprising because it is a recipe by Mandy Rivers. I love her food blog, South Your Mouth!

Fantastic!! So delicious and easy. I quartered the sprouts instead of cutting them up into slices. This one's a keeper.

I have never met a Brussels sprout that I didn't like, but these go to the top of the list! Excellent flavor, nice tender crisp texture, and a colorful plate for the holiday table, to boot. As a volunteer field editor, I am happy to rate Mandy's recipe 5 star winner!
