Instructions

  • Start by cookin' the bacon in a large skillet, medium heat until it's crispy. Then remove and crumble it, but keep that bacon fat, it's liquid gold for sautéing.
  • Throw the Brussels sprouts halves into the skillet with the bacon fat. Sauté ‘em for 5-7 mins ‘til they start to soften up nice.
  • Add your minced garlic to the skillet, cook another 1-2 mins ‘til the kitchen smells ah-mazing.
  • Whisk your heavy cream, chicken broth, cornstarch and all the dry spices together in a bowl. This mix is gonna turn into your rich sauce.
  • Pour the cream mixture over the Brussels sprouts in the skillet and bring it to a simmer on medium heat. Stir often and wait for it to thicken which takes about 5-10 mins.
  • Once thick, stir in the crispy crumbled bacon you saved earlier. Taste and tweak salt or pepper if you feel it needs a little love.
  • Move this mix into your pressure cooker pot, seal it with the sealing ring, make sure steam release valve is set to closed. Cook on high pressure for 3 minutes then do a quick release to keep those sprouts perfect.
