Fried Brussels Sprouts

Description

Like fried cabbage? Then you are in for a treat. This is easy and most kids are actually surprised that it tastes better than it looks! I add about 2 tablespoons sugar simply to soften the taste and make my kids happy. But it is delicious without the sugar, and when I leave it out, I don’t tell them and they never say a word!

  • 6 slices bacon, cut into bite-size pieces
  • ½ onion, diced
  • 1 (12 ounce) package fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar, or to taste (Optional)
