I've always loved Brussel Sprouts, ever since I was a wee little one.  Sad thing is that my family doesn't.  I thought this recipe would surely change their minds but hubby or daughter didn't even touch it.  On the other hand, I love them.  Adding the bacon was something I've never done before and am convinced it only made them better which it did.  I usually eat them with a little bit of butter, salt, pepper and nothing else.  Grandma had some so at least I wasn't the only one.  My son and his family went out of town for the holiday, I wonder if they would've liked it.  Do you like Brussel Sprouts?

Here's hoping and praying you had a wonderful day spent with family and friends, thankful for the abundance we have in this wonderful country of ours.  God bless America.
