Brussel Sprouts
Rinse the Brussels sprouts well, pat them dry, then cut them in half.
Depending on your family size, you’ll need at least two fresh bundles of sprouts. Don’t use frozen. I have a family of five, so I use two bundles.

Uncured Bacon
Cut to packs of bacon into 1/4 inch pieces, no wide than a cheez-it.
Honestly, other than thick cut country bacon, this is the best tasting bacon I’ve ever had in my life. It’s crisps up so well.

Sharp knife
Cut the bacon with a sharp knife in 1/4 inch pieces.
Don’t skip out on a good knife. Make sure it’s sharp enough to cut through the bacon without shredding it into pieces.
