Russell's Brussels

JustJanS's Note:

Russ made these for dinner last night. The recipe came off the bag of brussels sprouts he bought, but he modified it quite a bit! Our DIL has been quite ill and miserable so when she requested Brussels sprouts, we both frozen as fresh are out of season. I think this would be even better with fresh. The original recipe used far more bacon, contained spinach and din't have the tomato paste or mustard in it.
