Ingredients
celery1 small onion (or half)Brusell Sproutsa small turnipany other veggie you want reallythree strips turkey bacon
Directions
Quarter the sprouts, unless they are smaller in size, then just halving them also works.

Dice the onion.

Slice up all the other veggies. I used the more delicate stalks AND the leaves at the center of the celery bunch.

In a steamer basket, steam all but the onion and bacon.

slice the bacon into small strips while heating a pan with a 2 Tbs of canola or olive oil within. Add the onions until they are browned and then add the bacon. (If using real bacon, no oil is needed the bacon provides it and you can cook the bacon and onions at the same time).

When the bacon/onion mixture is ready, add the veggies and stir. Cook only long enough to brown SOME of the veggies only slightly and serve.

    This sounds really good. Maybe I can get my husband to try them since he loves bacon. - 5/2/12

    Very Very Good. I used 2 slices of low sodium bacon very well drained of fat. I added green bell peppers to sautee with the onion and bacon. Will definately make again. - 11/8/10

    I just saw your rating of my blackforest brussel sprouts. Sorry it took so long for me to see this question! I just make a bed for meat with it. Since the whole thing makes about 4 servings, I'm guessing 2-3 cups would be close.
