By Susan52

Ingredients

• 5 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
• 12 ounces thick-sliced bacon, cut into pieces
• 1 ⁄2 cup diced red onion
• 1 ⁄4 cup honey
• 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 ⁄4 teaspoon coarse salt
• 1 ⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°. Position oven racks in top and bottom thirds of oven. In 2 large rimmed baking pans, spread Brussels sprouts in a single layer.

In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon and drain on paper towels, reserving 1⁄4 cup drippings in skillet.

Add onion to hot drippings in skillet and cook, stirring constantly, for 6 to 8 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat; add half of onions and bacon drippings to each pan of Brussels sprouts. Toss well and spread in a single layer.

Bake for 20 minutes. In a small bowl, combine honey and vinegar. Remove pans from oven; stir half of honey mixture into each pan of Brussels sprouts and spread in a single layer. Rotate position of pans on oven racks. Bake for 5 minutes or until Brussels sprouts are browned and just tender. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss with bacon just before serving.
