I'm not afraid to shout to the world that I LOVE BRUSSELS SPROUTS! In fact, my whole family does - even my picky eaters. Because they are in season right now, I've been experimenting with new ways to eat them. That experimentation has resulted in this recipe (based on one found at PeaceLoveAndLowCarb) - which has turned into one of our absolute favorites. It's packed with delicious flavors. Yum!
Incidentally, if you're afraid of the sauce - which you shouldn't be - but if you are, feel free to omit it, and simply cook the Brussels sprouts in the pan, as directed. Of course, I would at least add butter on top afterward. Enjoy!

Brussels Sprouts with Parmesan Sauce Recipe
1
1/2 lbs. Brussels sprouts
6
bacon slices, cooked, drippings reserved (bacon is optional; if desired, substitute drippings with butter)
2
tablespoons butter
1
tablespoon dried onion flakes
1/2
cup heavy cream
1/2
cup grated Parmesan cheese
3
garlic cloves, minced
Salt
Pepper
1.
Prepare the Brussels sprouts by trimming the ends. Cut each sprout in half.
2.
Place a large skillet over medium high heat and add the bacon drippings. Add
the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the Brussels sprouts and onion
flakes.
3.
Saute, stirring occasionally until the spouts are well browned and can
easily be pierced with a fork. (Parts of the sprouts will look black; that's good!) Remove from the heat.
4. In the meantime, create the sauce in a small saucepan: Pour the heavy cream,
Parmesan, and garlic into the pan and place over medium heat. Season with salt
and plenty of pepper.
6.
Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Allow to simmer and thicken,
stirring occasionally. Pour sauce over Brussels sprouts and serve.
Makes about 4 servings.

This looks good. I love them, too! I was so disappointed when I found out they are Brussels sprouts instead of brussel sprouts. That extra s and the capital B just messes up the name! LOL Your link up there to the other blog works, but you accidentally have a typo in the name of the blog in case you want to fix it.
