Directions:
In a small skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels with a slotted spoon; drain.

Meanwhile, cut an “X” in the core of each Brussels sprout. In a large skillet, sauté sprouts in butter until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes.

Stir in the broth, pecans, maple syrup, salt and pepper. 

Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes. 

Uncover; cook and stir until Brussels sprouts are tender, 8-10 minutes longer. 

Sprinkle with bacon and serve.
