Balsamic-Glazed Brussels Sprouts

1 lb fresh Brussels sprouts
1/2 lb bacon strips, cut into 1/2" pieces
half of a medium onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

2. Meanwhile, cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp.Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels. Drain, reserving 2 tablespoons of drippings. Saute onion in drippings until tender.

3. Stir in vinegar, mustard, garlic powder, salt, bacon and Brussels sprouts; cook for 2-3 minutes longer.

4. Transfer into a broiler-safe dish. Sprinkle with bread crumbs. Broil 4-6 inches from heat for 2-3 minutes or until bread crumbs are golden brown.
