These turned out perfect!! I cooked as directed and the brussel sprouts had a great texture and the bacon added a nice crunch. I used fresh brussel sprouts. I made these with porktenderloin, creamed leak mash potatoes, red-pepper jelly carrots and rolls. I will make these again and they are super easy to make!12/30/09
