Ew! Brussel sprouts!

You think you hate them, but if you cover them in bacon, they are amazing!  I had the same thoughts about brussel sprouts until last fall when I had them at Dinner Club.  *Note: I'm a fairly picky eater, but at DC, I eat everything (but seafood) because it's rude not to.:)

Ingredients:
1 package brussel sprouts
1/2 package of bacon
Olive oil
Salt & pepper

Wash the brussel sprouts, cut the end off, and peel off ugly leaves.  Cut in half and toss w/ 3T olive oil in a plastic bag, and put onto a aluminum foil lined baking sheet.  Season w/ salt and pepper.
Line up 5-6 pieces of bacon and cut the bacon into 1" pieces and place on top of brussel sprouts.
Bake for 30-40 minutes at 400.

Maybe try adding a goat cheese, or pine nuts!

Now, tell me you don't like them!
