I tested this recipe from the November 2010 issue of Southern Living for Brussels Sprouts with Pancetta and declare it a keeper.

    1. Paula, this look really yummy. I think I’ll give it a try for Thanksgiving. The first time I had brussel sprouts was last year when I was having dinner at the Biltmore with some friends.

    2. I saw that recipe in SL and have stored it away in my brain. I LOVE brussel sprouts, so how could they not be good with pancetta?

    3. Okay, so I hate brussel sprouts, but I think my Hubby would love this. I really should be a good wife and try it for him.

    4. I don’t like Brussels sprouts, but my husband does. And he loves pancetta. I think I should try this recipe for him!
