Brussels Sprouts Skillet with Bacon and Onions
  1. 1

    Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning now and then, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels, keeping the grease in the skillet. Crumble the bacon.

  2. 2

    Cook and stir the onion in the bacon grease over medium heat until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the Brussels sprouts; cook and stir until the Brussels sprouts are lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Sprinkle the bacon over the Brussels sprouts mixture and stir. Remove the skillet from the heat, transfer the Brussels sprouts mixture to a serving bowl, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
