Welcome to My Blog!

If you're visiting for the first time, be sure and read my "Welcome to My Blog" post in February. It's the first one and it explains why I started doing this. So far it's been a lot of fun; it kind of feels like a diary.

Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Mustard Cream Sauce

Okay, so obviously this needs a better picture...next time!  They were so good.  How could you go wrong with bacon, cream, and mustard??

10-12 Brussels sprouts, trimmed and cut in half
2-3 slices thick bacon, diced
¼ cup heavy cream
1-2 T. whole grain mustard
Salt, to taste

Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy.  Remove and drain on paper towel.

In the same pan, put the Brussels sprouts cut side down and sauté until browned, about 8 minutes.  Turn over and continue cooking a few minutes.  Season with salt.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and blend in the mustard.

Add the bacon and cream sauce to the Brussels sprouts and serve.
