- 1 ½ pounds Brussels sprouts
- 1 pound bacon
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- ½ white onion, chopped
- 1 jalapeño pepper, sliced
- Cooking oil (for skillet)
Preparation Instructions
- Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Boil the Brussels sprouts in a large pot of water for 10 minutes. After boiling, drain and set them aside to cool.
- Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet, heat a small amount of cooking oil over medium heat. Cut the bacon into small pieces and add it to the skillet. Cook until crispy, stirring occasionally.
- Once the bacon is crispy, add the red bell pepper, onion, and jalapeño to the skillet. Stir to coat the vegetables in the bacon grease.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture cook for a few minutes.
- Trim the ends off the boiled Brussels sprouts and cut them in half.
- Add the halved Brussels sprouts to the skillet with the bacon and vegetables.
- Sprinkle in the Dan-O’s Cajun and toss everything together to evenly distribute the flavor.
- Cook until the Brussels sprouts are warmed through. Once everything is hot, remove from heat and serve immediately.
