Ingredients:
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, halved

- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for drizzling
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

- Add the halved Brussels sprouts to the skillet with the bacon fat. Season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat the Brussels sprouts evenly.

- While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for a few minutes until it slightly thickens.
- Once the Brussels sprouts are done roasting, remove them from the oven and drizzle the balsamic glaze over the top. Toss to combine, and then add the crispy bacon back into the mix.
