Equipment

Ingredients

2 slices center cut bacon (substitute turkey bacon if you prefer)
1 teaspoon canola oil or olive oil
1 pound brussels sprouts, trimmed and cut in half (Some of mine were really big so I cut them in quarters.)
1/4 cup minced onion or shallot
1/3 cup water
1-1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Assemble and prep your ingredients.
In a large skillet (preferably nonstick) cook the bacon over medium heat, turning until crisp. Remove the bacon, crumble it and set it aside.
Add the oil to the skillet and increase to medium-high heat. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook until the sprouts begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
Add the onion, and stir, cooking for another 1-2 minutes. Add 1/3 cup water and cover the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 4 minutes.
Remove the cover and stir in the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring to combine brussels sprouts with the vinegar mixture.
Add the bacon and continue to cook until the brussels sprouts are well browned. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
