Brussels Sprouts with Chestnuts and Bacon

Beth Bollinger of Nest Wellness

My pet peeve is restaurant Brussel sprouts that are crispy on the outside and hard as a rock on the inside. I will teach you the trick to making perfect brussels sprouts every time! Perfect for a weeknight dinner or as a Thanksgiving side.
