Step 1

In a large skillet, cook bacon until crisp and remove to drain on a paper towel lined plate. (Do not drain skillet.)

Step 2

While the bacon is cooking, remove any wilted leaves and excess stems from the brussels sprouts and cut them in half.

Step 3

Sauté the brussels sprouts in the bacon drippings until they begin to brown and soften.

Step 4

Crumble the cooled bacon into bite sized pieces and add to the brussels sprouts.

Step 5

Add garlic, lemon juice, and chicken stock and stir to mix.

Step 6

Cover and stir occasionally, allowing the brussels sprouts to simmer/steam until they are fork-tender. Add additional stock if necessary. My brussels sprouts were fork-tender in about 30 - 35 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the brown sugar and soy sauce and stir to coat the brussels sprouts.

Step 8

Allow the brussels sprouts to simmer 2 - 3 minutes more.

Step 9

Serve and enjoy!
