Bacon Wrapped Brussel Sprouts


I have talked about this recipe before when I made them for the first time here & have made them several times since then. They are a really good appetizer & a unique way to eat a veggie that is really good for you. Who doesn't like "stuff" wrapped in bacon with a dipping sauce anyway??

Bacon Wrapped Brussels Sprouts

Ingredients

  • 10 bacon slices
  • 10 Brussels sprouts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Creamy Mustard Sauce

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°. Microwave bacon slices, in batches, between paper towels, at HIGH for 1 1/2 minutes. Cut slices in half crosswise. Cut Brussels sprouts in half lengthwise. Wrap 1 bacon piece around each Brussels sprout half; secure with a wooden pick. Place sprouts, cut sides down, on a lightly greased wire rack on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with pepper to taste. Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until bacon is crisp & Brussels sprouts are tender. Serve with Creamy Mustard Sauce, if desired. Makes 6-8 servings.

Creamy Mustard Sauce 

Stir together 1/2 cup sour cream, 2 tsp. whole grain mustard, 1  tsp. brown sugar, salt and pepper to taste in a bowl.

* I would not suggest using turkey bacon or thick-sliced bacon.
