Mustard Brussel Sprouts with Bacon
My man isn’t much on the veg. He’s especially not fond of Brussel Sprouts but when they’re tossed in butter and mustard, he gobbles them up. I adore the little fellows, hot, cold, naked or doused…I find them scrumptious. With this simple preparation, I hope you will to.

3 cups of fresh Brussel Sprouts
If you can’t find fresh, then get the all-natural frozen ones. The frozen ones are often a bit on the soggy side but sometimes that’s all there is.
¼ cup melted Butter
3 Tbsp. Grainy Mustard
4 slices Cooked Crumbled Bacon
Salt & Pepper to taste

For fresh Sprouts, nip of their dirty little ends, and pull any scruffy leaves off. Some folks like to make a little X in the bottom of each sprout. I do not. I find the X soaks up water and makes ‘em soggy. Put the Sprouts in a pot, add cold water, just enough to cover. Toss in a pinch of salt. Cook until just fork tender. Drain and put in a bowl, add melted butter and stir, then mustard, and stir. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Easy on the salt as the bacon will add that. Top with crumbled bacon just before serving.

I love these Brussel Sprouts with roast chicken, or turkey. If you’ve leftovers, toss them in a Bubble n’ Squeak!

Hi, I'm Marianne Hines. Most call me ANNiE. The nick is short and sweet and not at all like me. I’m 5’11” and happiest when there's sand between my toes, when I'm dirty, windblown, and adorned with the debris of whatever project I'm working on. I build, design,and create in many forms. I’ve spent most of my life in the Northwest. Twelve years ago I came to the southeast for love, that love is now my husband. I love London and Paris for the art, food, and architecture. I love Spring and Fall, mountains, untouched snow, the smell of a horse’s mane, the sound of paper dry leaves under foot, birds singing, reef snorkeling, flea market hunting, and cooking for friends who love to eat, to be loud, and to laugh.
