The easiest Brussels sprout recipe you’ll ever love.
My campaign to improve the image of Brussels sprouts continues. So many people think they hate this vegetable because they’ve only ever tried the frozen kind, boiled and served plain (which is a terrible thing to do to any veggie). But fresh Brussels sprouts, cooked slowly for a long time, aren’t just edible – they’re delicious.
My first attempt to prove this was my Honey Bacon Brussels Sprouts, which are roasted in the oven and topped with bacon and a yummy honey balsamic-glaze. These are fantastic, but I realize not everyone has the time to devote to oven-roasting. If you’re doing anything complicated for a main dish, you just want to keep the veggies simple.
This Crockpot Brussels Sprouts recipe does that. It’s got all the balsamic-bacon goodness of my first recipe, but the Crockpot takes care of the cooking for you. You just season the sprouts, toss them in the crock, and let them cook away on their own while you attend to other matters. The sprouts will be tender and ready to go whenever you are.
Just dish them up, drizzle them with your balsamic glaze, sprinkle them with diced bacon – and watch your family go, “Really? These are Brussels sprouts?”

How do you make the honey balsamic glaze
Corey says
I buy mine at our local market. But if you do not have that option, all you have to do is simmer balsamic vinegar until it becomes a thick glaze. Make sure to stir often.
