quite decent actually. I'm not a huge lover of sprouts so I always look for another way to use them. This works pretty well.....

Very good and easy to make. Even my husband who hates Brussel sprouts liked this version. I did add a little more salt than called for and pepper.

Not so good I made this exactly as instructed, and the vinegar ruined it. I think it would have been great up until that point. It tasted like hot coleslaw. Gross. Pros: BACON Cons: too much vinegar
