Bacon and Walnut Brussel Sprouts

Growing up, I never liked a brussel sprout.  But who actually did?  It seems that they were always a vegetable that no one really knew what to do with.  Steam and serve?  Eww...
When I stumbled upon this amazing slow cooker dish, I noticed that this brussel sprout recipe was a recommended side.  I almost didn't try it, but now I'm so glad that I did.  This dish reminds me of a warm slaw - I love it.  It is the perfect contrast to a dish prepared with a sweet-ish sauce because the brussel sprouts have a hint of salty bacon and roasted walnuts.  I love the contrast in texture as well, when the crunchy sprouts are paired with a tender roast.  Perfection.
Best dishes and yummy dreams!
