Brussel Sprouts with Garlic and Bacon

Don't dismiss these until you try them. Veggies just might never be the same.

Serves 5-6

1 1/2 - 2 pounds of brussel sprouts, trimmed and cut in half
4 slices of bacon, cut into chunks
3 cloves of garlic minced
salt and pepper to taste

Bring water to boil in a 5 quart pot. Add enough salt to make it taste like sea water. Add the brussle sprouts and cook for about 4 minutes or until they are tender/crisp. Drain from the water and set aside. In a large skillet, cook the bacon until it begins to brown. Drain off all of the fat and return the bacon to the pan. Do not clean out the pan. Return the pan to the heat and continue to cook the bacon for another minute or two. Add the sprouts,garlic, salt and pepper. Stir to coat and cook for 3 more minutes until the brussel sprouts are heated through. Serve.
