Brussels Sprouts with Bacon

As a kid I hated Brussels Sprouts but as an adult I've found a great fondness for them. They may be a small in size but they definitely pack a punch of flavor. They are delicious no matter how they are made and delectable with even a minimal amount of seasoning. But like they say everything goes better with bacon and these little sprouts couldn't agree more.

Directions
1. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels; drain, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings. Crumble bacon and set aside.

2. In the same pan, saute Brussels sprouts and onion in reserved drippings until crisp-tender. Add the water, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 4-5 minutes or until Brussels sprouts are tender. Stir in bacon and vinegar.
