Place bacon in a large saute pan over medium heat. Cook bacon until crispy then remove and set aside. Remove excess bacon fat, leaving behind about 3-4 tablespoons in the pan.
Place brussels sprouts cut side down in the pan and sprinkle with salt. Let brussels sprouts cook for about 4-5 minutes, until completely browned then turn over and repeat. Sprinkle with a bit more salt and garlic powder.
Once cooked on both sides, reduce heat to medium-low then pour balsamic vinegar, hot sauce, and maple syrup into the pan, move around the brussels sprouts then let cook for 3-4 minutes, until the balsamic vinegar thickens then add bacon back to the pan and mix.
