Brussels sprouts in bacon and balsamic vinegar....lordy, lordy what a wonderful treat. We have them every Thanksgiving.
question for those of you who have mentioned that you buy good bacon....may I ask, what brand? I usually only buy bacon once a year at the holidays. I am going to be looking for a really good brand. Love bacon but we dont eat a lot of it. When we do, we want the best!! Thanks.

don't get Gwaltney regular- so thin it tears- thick is just OK. stick with name brands and not store brands. I don't buy Smithfield on principle but usually buy name brand on sale and freeze a bunch of it.
I usually buy thick cut bacon from the butcher counter not prepackaged stuff. Today I did buy a package of Cracker Barrel bacon which was $7.99 for 20 oz on sale for $7.19. Then I had a dollar off coupon for it so $6.19 the prepackaged 12 oz was $4.99 and up. So fatty too I can't imagine what it looks like under the packages hope this center cut CB bacon will be meaty all the way through.
I'm originally from Montana and love to fly fish. When out camping and fly fishing we would always have a jar of bacon grease with us to use when pan frying brown and rainbow trout that we caught out of the stream.
There's absolutely nothing like eating a couple of trout fried in bacon grease in a seasoned iron skillet over a roaring camp fire at dusk in the mountains of Western Montana.

Yes, the scenery is as good as the fish.
That sounds perfect. Of course, I'm imagining no mosquitoes.
Combine ingredients.
Roll into balls, then flatten into patties (or flatten with a rollin' pin & cut with a cookie cutter).
Pan-fry the patties in bacon grease.
Serve warm.
Mix 3 tbsp bacon fat with 3 tbsp flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper. Cook till lightly golden. Stream in 2 cups of milk stirring with a whisk over medium heat till thick and bubbly. If I have slices of cooked bacon, i crumble one in. It's my version of country gravy.

Keep imagining that- they're here!
