Maple-Bacon Brussels Sprout Skillet
These Brussels sprouts are anything but boring—seared until golden, tossed with smoky bacon, kissed with maple syrup, and finished with a tangy balsamic reduction. The result is sweet, savory, and slightly crisp, making it the side dish everyone will fight over. Bonus: it all comes together in one skillet for easy cleanup.
