Extended family members requested this for Thanksgiving this year!
I made mine a little different. I half cooked the bacon in a skillet as I had the oven preheating. I used the bacon fat on the brussel sprouts and seasoned them with pepper and Mrs. Dash Garlic and Herb seasoning and roasted them in the oven for 10 mins. The last minute or two, I chopped the bacon and mixed the bacon in with the sprouts to finish. They were so good. A little heavy for some but very flavorful.
I made it for St Patrick’s day with corn beef, in place of cabbage. Now back by, Husbands popular demand, repeating side with Easter Lamb.
Very good!!!!
Would make this again. This was the first recipe from this site I tried on my campaign to increase vegetable intake. My partner and I added potatoes and meat as a sort of casserole dish. It was a good framework and seems very adaptable, so I’d suggest it if you’re not sure this exact recipe is what you want.
Loved it!
I had previously made another brussel sprout & bacon recipe (by Paula Dean) that was WAY too much work. This recipe is just as delicious and so easy! My children LOVE this… that’s the best compliment for a vegetable recipe!!!
So good! I added a few cloves of garlic and squeezed a full fresh lemon on the whole batch right before serving. My husband absolutely raved about them!
Made this with onion. My new “go to” brussels sprouts recipe!
Absolutely delicious!
used fresh sprouts and added chicken stock at the end of browning the sprouts added bacon at end. No leftovers
Very good! I made a couple of changes. I used a regular onion because my grocery store didn’t have shallots, added butter with the olive oil and instead of cooking bacon just used real bacon bits. Other than that and enjoying a beer while cooking ??, I stuck to the receipe. My fiance said that I’m now in charge of cooking brussel sprouts.
These were so tasty and easy to make (and I’m not a huge Brussels sprouts fan!) Like other commenters, I used bacon fat, and threw in some minced garlic. I’m making them again tonight with pork chops and apple/onion stuffing to celebrate our first day of fall-like weather!
Turned out great, and a new way for us to eat brussels sprouts.
This is delicious. We use fresh brussel sprouts and add some salt and pepper.
Tastes great when adding a poached egg on top for each serving.
These are so easy and taste so good! They are a great side to a weeknight family dinner or an elegant dinner party! I especially love the leaves that fall off and get crispy….yum!
Very good recipe, it makes a great thin and crispy pizza base. I made it exactly to the recipe and we were very pleased with the outcome. I am having chemo therapy at the moment and my tastes have changed a lot, so I am looking for strongly flavoured recipes. Pizza is perfect, but I find the yeast bases too thick and doughy. This recipe is ideal.
This is an excellent recipe for brussel sprouts and works well with prosciutto.
Loved it, wouldn’t change a thing! Every holiday gathering I’ve made it for it’s always the first side dish completely gone!!
Made this, didn’t have olive oil so I just cooked the Brussels sprouts in the bacon grease, added balsamic vinegar. The balsamic vinegar made the dish much more flavorable, high recommend adding it!
