Sauteed Bacon Brussels Sprouts

I chose this recipe to be my first post because I love anything that is sautéed. I also love bacon! Who doesn’t love bacon, I mean, c’mon? Brussels sprouts is one of my most favorite veggies! It can be a challenge to cook this amazing produce because it could either come out too soggy or too hard. It had to be perfectly cooked Brussels sprouts. Roasting it in a pan creates a sweet taste to the outer leaves, and slivered almonds add that crunchy texture to the dish.
