Has become a new family tradition for Holidays both Thanksgiving and Christmas! I did use a bit more bacon the second time around though and my son liked that more.

Make It

COOK bacon in large skillet until crisp. Remove bacon from skillet with slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Discard all but 1 Tbsp. drippings from skillet.

ADD butter, onions and Brussels sprouts to drippings in skillet; cook and stir on medium-high heat 1 to 2 min. or until Brussels sprouts are lightly browned.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

How to Toast Nuts

Toasting nuts adds crunch and intensifies their flavor. To toast nuts in the microwave, place up to 1 cup nuts in microwaveable shallow dish. Microwave on HIGH until fragrant and crisp, stirring every 30 sec.

Substitute

Use apple juice instead of apple cider.

I made this for Thanksgiving this year for the first time. It was a huge hit and I was asked to make it again for Christmas. Very tasty. I love Brussel Sprouts and can eat them plain. This let me share them with not huge fans and they went back for seconds.

Even if you don't like brussel sprouts you will love this recipe. Didn't make it for T-Day this time, and was told it must become a tradition so it will be on the menu next year.

I made this recipe today and it was really great. I didn't have the almonds on hand, but it still turned out great. Will include the almonds next time i make it.

i used green giant frozen brussles sprouts in butter sauce. cooked them in microwave as directions said. left out the butter and the browning phase of the recipe. when added the other ingredients and cooked down the juices, not much different from just the frozen package. but is prettier to serve so i will probably do this again.

It came out awesome. Had some fresh brussels sprouts from our farmshare and some cider from the apple picking farm. It was pure magic. Have made it a couple of times since and it is still delicious!!!
