Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Salt the water and add the brussel sprouts. Cook for 2 minutes, until they are bright green, and drain. Run under cool water. Pat the brussel sprouts dry and set aside.
In a large, heavy bottomed skillet. Cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon, leaving the bacon grease in the pan, and transfer to a paper-towel lined plate. Lower the heat to medium low, and add the brussel sprouts and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the red pepper flakes, sriracha, soy sauce, brown sugar and a dash of pepper. Stir together and cook for another 4 minutes to heat the sauce through.
Add the bacon back to the pan and stir. Season the brussel sprouts to taste. Serve immediately or keep warm in the oven until you are ready to serve. Enjoy!
