    I didn't have the recipe in front of me so I just made it from memory which wasn't much. Just made the bacon, took it out then threw the brussel spouts in and browned them a little. Then added the garlic and cooked a couple more minutes. Add the broth and cover. Simmer till tender. Great !!!!! - 10/7/09
