Step 1
Chop bacon into 1-inch pieces and cook in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until crispy, about 7 minutes.
Step 2
Remove bacon to a plate with a slotted spoon, leaving fat in the skillet.
Step 3
Trim brussels sprouts and halve them, then add to the skillet with bacon fat and spread in a single layer.
Step 4
Cook undisturbed for 5 minutes until the cut sides turn golden brown, then stir and cook 4 more minutes until tender.
Step 5
Return bacon to the skillet and drizzle balsamic glaze over everything, tossing once to coat.
