- #100184
Adding maple and bacon gives the Brussels sprouts incredible flavor, but the technique of boiling and cooling the sprouts before caramelizing them is crucial to a crispy, crunchy result.

ingredients
30 ounces fresh Brussels sprouts
5 slices bacon, chopped
1 medium sweet onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons real maple syrup
directions
Bring a pan of water to a boil over high heat.
Meanwhile, trim the Brussels sprouts, removing the ends and any rough outer leaves. Slice thin and add to the boiling water. Cover the pan and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
Meanwhile, cook the bacon and onion in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until the onion is soft and the bacon is browned.
Add the salt, pepper, drained Brussels sprouts, and half of the maple syrup. Cook, stirring frequently, for 7-9 minutes or until the sprouts begin to caramelize.
Add the remaining maple syrup and cook, stirring frequently, for 1-2 more minutes or until the Brussels sprouts are tender.
Serve hot.

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
