The signature bacon drip
Description
I’ve been using this hack for years now, and I have to say, it’s a GREAT one! Just cook the bacon on the rack above another dish to let the bacon fat infuse and flavor the dish below. Works particularly well with veggies, biscuits, and breakfast foods! It worked perfectly for this fun spin on my Brussels Recipe!

Ingredients
- Brussels 1–2 lbs quartered
- 1/2 lb Thick cut Bacon
- 4T Dark maple syrup
- 4T Honey
- 1T Dijon mustard Salt
- S&P to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the smoker to 425F with the pan already inside.
- Combine brussels, syrup, honey, mustard, and S&P in a large bowl, set aside.
- Once preheated, place slices of bacon on the rack(s) directly above the pan so the fat drips inside. After about 5 minutes add the prepared Brussels to the hot pan, now filling with bacon grease.
- Cook bacon for 15-20 min until done. Remove from the grill and let cool. Cook Brussels for an additional 20 min until browned and crisp. Chop cooled bacon and stir into Brussels sprouts. Serve hot.
