Brown Sugar and Bacon Brussels Sprouts

I wonder what took me so long…brown sugar and bacon Brussels Sprouts @createdbydiane 

to figure out how to get my fussy eater to enjoy more vegetables.

I try cooking them different ways: in a pan, roasted in the oven, or on the grill.

But brussels sprouts have been one that don’t clear off the plate as easily as others.

That case isn’t true for me at all, I like them raw and cooked loads of ways.

This simple trick, made them desirable enough to be cleared off the plate in a very timely manner. I just LOVE surprises like that.

Don’t you?

 

pouring brown sugar

 

I heated my cast iron skillet and added 1/2 tablespoon of butter, then came the good stuff!

I added brown sugar to the pan, not any ordinary brown sugar. I added this new C&H® Pourable Golden Brown Sugar (you can also find its sister brand Domino® Sugar in the eastern half of the U.S.).

pourable brown sugar

C&H® Pourable Golden Brown Sugar is really convenient. There is no need to pack it down in a measuring cup; it measures out cup for cup as regular brown sugar, there are no clumps or lumps, and it’s free flowing, which makes it easy to measure if needed. The flip top has an easy pour spout that allows you to add some brown sugar to your favorite foods in seconds.

Today there was no need to measure or fuss with a spoon, you can add as much or as little brown sugar as you’d like to these brussels sprouts.

on the table

And this cute little bottle will be able to sit in my table organizer with all our other table necessities. I have found that having everything my family loves to add to their foods on the table allows me and them to spend less time getting up to get things and more time enjoying the food and catching up with each other.

    I love adding brown sugar in cored apples and bake. In the brown sugar mixture, I add chopped raisins and chopped pecans. Very yummy snack! 🙂

    My all-time favorite cookies growing up were the chocolate-brown sugar cookies that my mom used to make. I’ve tried making them myself, but a cookie baker I am NOT. 🙁 But, that’s MY favorite use for brown sugar. This Brussels sprout recipe sounds soooo good! I just bought a package of shredded sprouts the other day and have been trying to think of different ways to cook them. This way sounds devine! Thank you for sharing.

    This could be made even better, and stretch farther, if it were made with shredded carrots, diced red sweet pepper, thinly sliced green onions, a finely minced clove of garlic, and use olive oil instead of butter.

    It is difficult to limit it to only one favorite use, but I will choose using brown sugar in cookie baking from scratch, especially chocolate chip cookie baking…….
