Creamy Brussels Sprouts With Bacon

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 lbs Brussels sprouts, sliced lengthwise (frozen is good, fresh is better)
• 6-8 slices thick center-cut bacon, cut into strips
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• kosher salt
• pepper

Directions

1. 1

   Add sprouts to boiling water (with decent amount of salt). Boil no longer than three minutes. Remove from pan, draining thoroughly (save 2 tablespoons of the water).

2. 2

   Fry bacon until desired crispiness; remove from grease. You may either cut or crumble bacon. Discard half of grease, leaving the rest in the frying pan.

3. 3

   Add sprouts and bacon to the bacon grease; use a spatula to fold in, coating the sprouts and bacon into the grease for two minutes.

4. 4

   Add sour cream and reserved water; reduce heat to medium and continue to stir for 2-3 minutes. Place in serving bowl, sprinkle with salt and pepper, serving immediately.
