I think I’ve given John Brussels sprout overload this fall. Good thing he knows how much I enjoy them when they’re in season! Plus, anytime I made a huge batch of this skillet and have leftovers, it’s so easy to throw the reminder in a quiche and have another (but different) meal including the beloved sprouts!

Are you a Brussels sprouts lover or hater? If lover, what’s your favorite way to prepare them?
I would love to try this recipe… but I don’t know if I like Brussel Sprouts because I’ve never had them and they get such a bad reputation as being horrible. Josh doesn’t like them… did you and John always enjoy eating Brussel Sprouts?
Miss you Katie… we should Skype or something soon

Hey Shannon! Katie, I think, enjoyed brussel sprouts prior to the dish but I didn’t. I actually find them quite tasty when mixed with bacon and cheese. This is a pretty easy dish to make and sprouts and bacon and cheese isn’t super-expensive. Might be worth a try for you guys, even if Josh isn’t thrilled about sprouts.
Looks pretty good! I’m not a HUGE fan of brussel sprouts, but I know my mom is, so I try to cook them for her.
Bacon and b.sprouts?! Yummm!!! Totally going to have to try this dish
Thanks!
I love love love brussel sprouts. So good! I usually roast them with a bit of olive oil and salt and pepper.
