In this post you can find the perfect side dish for any special occasion: Caramelized Brussels Sprouts with Bacon!
Ahh, the fall weather here in Maryland is finally touching down, and I am beyond excited.
Fall is seriously the best season ever, sorry summer — the beautiful colors, crisp air, the flavorful foods, Halloween, the pumpkins and so on.
Today, I want to share one of my favorite fall foods with you, caramelized brussels sprouts with bacon. Super easy to make, and super savory to taste!
Enjoy. Please let me know your thoughts about this recipe in the comments below!
My personal history with these caramelized brussels sprouts with bacon
Until this blog starts to monetize, I am working part-time at Seasons 52, a restaurant that changes its menu seasonally to offer the freshest food selections of each season. I have worked there for four years, and I cannot tell you how much I anticipate the fall menu and the tasty caramelized Brussels Sprouts accompaniment. I know I am not alone because a lot of guests come to Seasons solely for the Brussels Sprouts.
Well, I’m outraged this year because they did not bring back our OG Brussels Sprouts. Instead, they are featuring a truffle-honey Brussels Sprouts. They are still delicious, but I am still in mourning for the caramelized Brussels Sprouts with bacon.
Over the years, I have attempted approximately 15 times to perfect this recipe. Throughout lots of trials and errors, I have finally found a recipe that I love!
Enjoy this dish. It is the perfect combination of savory and sweet and is the perfect side dish for any occasion.

I never used to like brussel sprouts but then I had with bacon and butter and that changed everything! I've not had with the brown sugar added so will definitely be trying that!

These look amazing! Brussel sprouts are my favorite vegetable, we eat them at least 3 times a week. I'm going to have to try this recipe, it sounds amazing.

They really are so delightful. I cannot believe that I didn't eat them growing up!
