Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 6 strips of bacon

- Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Crumble the bacon back into the skillet, then drizzle the maple syrup over the mixture and stir to combine.

Notes
Tip: For an extra layer of flavor, try using applewood smoked bacon.
For an extra kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the hash. You can easily swap out Brussels sprouts for kale or even asparagus, depending on what you have on hand.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through for the best texture.
