Big Poppa’s Thai Chili Bacon Brussels: Griddle Gold You Can’t Resist
When Big Poppa hits the griddle, you know something tasty’s going down—this time, it’s Brussels sprouts like you’ve never had them before. Forget bland boiled sprouts. We’re talking crispy, smoky, griddle-seared Brussels with bacon, a splash of water for a steam finish, and a final toss in sweet & spicy Thai chili sauce.
To kick it up a notch (you know how Big Poppa rolls), we hit the bacon with Big Poppa’s Desert Gold Seasoning—that zesty citrus-garlic magic that makes everything better. The bacon crisps, the Brussels soak up all that flavor, and the Thai chili glaze brings it home with a sticky-sweet punch.
These aren’t your grandma’s Brussels sprouts. These are “who’s your favorite Poppa?” sprouts.
Serve them up hot off the griddle and watch them disappear faster than you can say “Desert Gold.”

Ingredients
1 lb Brussels sprouts, halved
6 strips thick-cut bacon
Big Poppa’s Desert Gold Seasoning
1/4 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
Optional: chopped green onion or sesame seeds for garnish
Directions
Preheat your griddle over medium heat.
Cook the bacon directly on the griddle until it starts to crisp and release that golden bacon grease.
Sprinkle Desert Gold Seasoning over the bacon as it cooks.
Once the bacon is nearly done, push it aside and add the halved Brussels sprouts cut-side down directly in the bacon grease.
Let the sprouts sear until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Add 2 tablespoons of water to the griddle and cover with a metal dome or pan lid to steam for 3-5 minutes until fork-tender.
Chop the cooked bacon, then toss it back with the Brussels sprouts.
Drizzle Thai sweet chili sauce over everything and stir well to coat.
Serve hot, optionally topped with green onions or sesame seeds.
