If you are not particularly a fan of Brussels sprouts this recipe just may win you over. The smoky flavor from the grill, the bacon, and the balsamic syrup make this side dish one to cheer about it. We enjoyed this last night for dinner, and I couldn’t wait for lunch so I could eat the leftovers.
Serve with grilled steak and mashed potatoes for an all-star meal.
