Greenies & Weenies

Ingredients:
2 strips bacon, sliced into small pieces (I use pre-cooked Kirkland bacon to cut down on cooking time and grease)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
4 cups brussel sprouts, quartered
1/4 cup vegetable broth
2 tablespoons powdered ranch dip
salt and pepper to taste
5-pack of Casual Gourmet Spinach and Red Pepper Chicken Sausage, cut in half lengthwise, and then sliced. (I found this at Costco, but there are several other brands at your local grocery store)

Directions:
1. In a large skillet, saute bacon and garlic on high heat until garlic is browned. (If you're using raw bacon, cook first then follow step 1)
2. Reduce heat to medium and add brussel sprouts, vegetable broth, and ranch dip.  Cover, and stir often, checking tenderness of the brussel sprouts.  I cooked mine approximately 6-8 minutes.
3. Once brussels are cooked to your liking, remove from skillet.
4. Add sliced sausage to previous skillet and cook on high heat for approximately 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly browned. Serves 4.
