Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. Step 2

    Remove bacon to a plate with a slotted spoon, leaving fat in the skillet.

  3. Step 3

    Trim brussels sprouts and halve them, then add to the skillet with bacon fat and spread in a single layer.

  4. Step 4

    Cook undisturbed for 5 minutes until the cut sides turn golden brown, then stir and cook 4 more minutes until tender.

  5. Step 5

    Return bacon to the skillet and drizzle balsamic glaze over everything, tossing once to coat.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot straight from the skillet.
