Ingredients

8 c brussel sprouts was about 2 lbs.
3 slices bacon diced
1-2 shallots depending on how many you want, dice
1 stick butter + 1 tbsp., salted
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1.5 tbsp lemon juice fresh squeezed if possible, or 2 if you want more lemon flavor
1/4 c parmesan cheese
salt to taste

Instructions

Wash and cut your brussel sprouts in half lengthwise.
Put a vegetable steamer basket at the bottom of your Instant Pot with 1.5 c. water.
Put your cut brussels into your basket and close the lid and steam valve.
Set to pressure high for 3 minutes, if cutting this recipe in half I would set to 2 minutes.
Do a quick release, take out basket with vegetables and drain liquid in the pot.
Put pot back in and set to saute normal.
Add 1 tbsp. of your butter and your diced bacon.
Cook until bacon is almost done and then add your shallots for last minute, then add the last stick of butter so it melts.
Once your butter is melted and bacon is done cooking to your liking turn your pot off.
Put your cooked brussels sprouts back into your pot and gently stir so they are all coated with your bacon/butter mixture. Squeeze your lemon juice on top, sprinkle seasonings and gently toss again.
Serve topped with parmesan cheese and chives if desired.
