The trick to making this in thirty minutes or less is to prepare the brussels sprouts while the bacon is already cooking. Trim a thin slice off the end, then halve the sprout lengthwise, leaving the loose leaves behind. To get that critical, sweet caramelization, don&#8217;t stir the sprouts too often while cooking.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Time: 30 minutes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Serves: 4<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n<address>8 strips bacon \u2013 cut into matchsticks<\/address>\n<address>1 onion \u2013 chopped<\/address>\n<address>1 \u00bd pounds Brussels sprouts \u2013 trimmed and halved<\/address>\n<address>1 teaspoon kosher salt<\/address>\n<address>\u00bc teaspoon fresh ground black pepper<\/address>\n<address>\u00a0<\/address>\n<p><strong>Preparation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Place a large frying pan on medium heat.
