Thanksgiving Brussel Sprouts

3 years and a row now, I've made this dish for Thanksgiving! It is now requested and there are NEVER any leftovers! Bacon makes everything better! If you want smaller pieces and consistency, shred the brussel sprouts like you would cabbage. If you want more chunky brussely-sprouty taste, cut them into 4ths! I like both ways, depends on your mood!

INGREDIENTS
1 package sliced bacon
1/4 cup butter
2/3 cup pine nuts
2 pounds Brussels sprouts, cored and shredded or quartered
5 green onions, minced
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
pepper to taste



DIRECTIONS
Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until crisp. Drain, reserving 2 tablespoons grease, chop and set aside.

In the same skillet, melt butter in with reserved bacon grease over medium heat. Add pine nuts, and cook, stirring until browned. Add Brussels sprouts and green onions to the pan, and season with seasoning salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat until sprouts are wilted and tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in chopped bacon just before serving.
