Slow-Cooker Brussels Sprouts With Lemon, Thyme, and Bacon

WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS

Chicken broth and thyme added savory depth to these brussels sprouts, and a bit of lemon zest and juice contributed brightness. For added richness, we quickly crisped some bacon in the microwave and sprinkled it on top.
