Brussels Sprouts with Bacon

Heather says:

We love oven-roasted Brussels sprouts in our home. This variation on the classic takes advantage of bacon and all of its wonderful flavor.

Make more of these Brussels sprouts than you think you could possibly consume. Just trust me, this is especially true for holiday dinners. Oh it's a vegetable, who wants vegetables on Thanksgiving? Apparently a LOT of people do.
