Sauted Brussel Sprouts

This recipe is awesome... even for those who don't like brussel sprouts! But for those who do, this is habit forming ;). These amounts are approximate. I usually just throw in as much as I like.

olive oil (approx 2 tbsp)
butter (approx 2 tbsp)
1 pound or so of fresh brussel sprouts, cored and sliced
1/2 small red onion, chopped fine
1 clove of garlic, minced (give or take) I used dried minced
1 small shallot, chopped fine I used dried
Salt, to taste
bacon bits

To prepare the sprouts, I slice them in half and cut out the core then juliene.
Add them to butter and olive oil in a shallow skillet along with the rest of the ingredients. Saute until soft.
