Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Raisins

Nothing says Monday like brussels sprouts!  Kidding, but believe it or not, these tasty sprouts are a party in your mouth - and will make you forget that it is Monday, haha. The are both sweet and savory components to these sprouts, I promise they are like no sprouts you have ever had (although I love brussels sprouts, I know not everyone does).  Give these a whirl!

Ingredients:
2 pieces bacon, cooked crispy and crumbled (reserve 1 T bacon fat)
1 pound brussels sprouts, trimmed and cut in half
1 3/4 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup golden raisins

Directions:
Add 1 T of bacon fat to a heavy dutch oven and turn your burner on medium. Add the brussels sprouts and stir until coated with fat. Season with a touch of kosher salt and pepper. Sautee about 5 minutes until lightly browned. Add raisins and chicken stock, lower heat and cook until the sprouts are tender, about 15 minutes. Serve sprouts with crumbled bacon on top.

Tip:
You could easily make this dish veggie, but omitting the bacon and subbing the bacon fat for 1 t olive oil.
