Spicy Roasted Brussels Sprouts

4 cups Brussels Sprouts  - Cleaned and cut in 1/2(not sure of the exact amount, I just used about 2 giant handfuls.
2 tbsp Bacon Fat
1 tbsp EVOO
2 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
1/2 cup Water
2 Bacon Strips - Cooked till crispy and chopped
1/4 Onion - Diced
1 Garlic Clove - Minced
1/2 Fresno Chili - Seeded, sliced into strips
1 tsp Aleppo Peppers - Dried
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
2 tbsp - Locatelli Cheese - Grated

In a pan over med/high heat, add the bacon fat and EVOO to melt.  Add in the brussels sprouts and mix to coat.  Position the sprouts cut side down.  Cook for about 1 1/2 minutes.  Add the balsamic vinegar and cook about 30 seconds.  Add the water, bacon, onion, garlic, chili & aleppo peppers.  Reduce heat to simmer.  Put lid on pan and simmer about 5 minutes or until the liquid has evaporated.

You may need to add a little more water and cover again if the sprouts aren't fully cooked.

Sprinkle w/ black pepper and grate w/ locatelli cheese.

Enjoy.
