Brussel sprouts get a bad rap.  Even as a child, the word brussel would send my sister and I running for the hills.  Now a few years older and a smidgen wiser, I actually really like brussel sprouts.  When I was visiting Chicago earlier this year, I had a dish that combined pretty much magic in a bowl: brussel spouts, applewood smoked bacon, and brie.  I knew that I had to re-create it at home.

Ingredients:
1 container of Brussel Sprouts
1 large wheel of Brie
4 pieces of Applewood Smoked Bacon

Directions:
Cook bacon in a pan and set aside 1 tablespoon of bacon grease.  Add brussel sprouts to the pan and sautee for a minute or two.  Remove from heat and add crumbled bacon, a few slices of brie (I use 4-5), 1 tablespoon of bacon grease and brussel sprouts and bake for 10 minutes at 375.
