Step 1Cook your bacon on the stove in a large frying pan set over low heat. Cook the bacon until it’s crispy, but not too crispy.Step 2Transfer your bacon to paper towels, and throw your Brussels sprouts into that delicious bacon fat; increase the heat to medium-high. You could cook garden tools in bacon fat and they would taste good. That’s a fact!**Step 3Once the sprouts start to brown a bit, add the pistachios. Stir for about a minute, then remove from heat and set aside.Step 4Season the beef with the salt and pepper, form 4 patties, and cook your burgers in the same pan.Step 5Build Your Burger: Bottom bun, burger, bacon, Brussels sprouts mixture, a dollop of sour cream, and your top bun. Dollop. Dollop. That’s a great word, dollop.
