Bacon and brussel sprouts

Maybe I'm a little late with the food blogging, but this is as much for me as it is anyone else. I got this recipe from a friend, and did some tweaking. Since the result was delicious, and I want to be able to find it quickly, I thought I'd put it here. 

3 slices of bacon
6-8 brussel sprouts
about 1/2 C broth-I used turkey because I had it, but chicken, veggie, or beef would all likely be delicious
Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper to taste

Slice the brussel sprouts-the original recipe suggests using a food processor, which I did. Next time, i think I'll slice them by hand so they're a little thicker.

Cook then crumble the bacon and reserve the bacon grease.

In the same pan, add the broth and bring to a boil. Add the brussel sprouts and cook until they are tender, but still a little crunchy. Add the salt and pepper at this point. Drain the excess broth, and add the bacon and parmesan cheese. It's a great side dish like this. I might try adding quinoa next time for a little more substance.
