Up until a few years ago, you would NEVER catch me eating Brussel’s Sprouts. I’d never really had a bad experience with them, but just assumed I’d hate them. Boy was I wrong!

Brussel’s Sprouts have become one of my favorite vegetables, next to cauliflower. We love to eat them just roasted in our house, but hands down my favorite way to eat them is in this creamy skillet dish covered in cheese and bacon. Because cheese and bacon makes everything taste 1000 times better right?

This dish does work well for potlucks or gatherings because you can cook it up at home in a cast iron skillet. Then once you get to the gathering, pop it in the oven to let it heat up and cheese get bubbly. Seriously, it reheats so well! And if you find that it’s a little thick for your taste, add a bit of broth to thin it out some.

  1. You had me at Brussel sprouts (love them) and sold me with CHEESE! I’ve had them roasted with bacon but I’ve never had them cooked with cheese. This recipe sounds delicious! Pinned and definitely trying.

  2. Wow, that looks amazing with the cheese addition. We just ate some brussels sprouts for Thanksgiving and wouldn’t mind eating this for our Christmas party 🙂
