Bacon and Brussel Sprouts Casserole

So it is that time of year when the brussel sprouts are in season and I have one happy husband. I have said it before but I am blessed with a husband that absolutely loves brussel sprouts. Which is great because I know that I can be adventurous with my preparation of these little cabbages and know that my husband will eat it.  

Last time I talked about brussel sprouts I said that I had been stuck in a cooking rut with this little green veggie. But since then I have tried new ways to prepare them that have opened my eyes to a whole new world of dishes that I would have never before thought of. This recipe was inspired by an article from Delish.com. Once again I found a recipe that sounded great but after reading it I noticed that, in my opinion, the instructions given weren't going to yield a result that I would be pleased with. So I took the recipe and prepared it in my own way, altering the parts that I felt wouldn't work. And I am happy to say that it turned out a real winner. This is definitely one to repeat.

Being more adventurous with Brussel Sprouts

Do you have a certain ingredient that you just always seem to cook the same way? I have found that I can get stuck in a rut with certain ingredients and it takes some nudging to try something new with it. It isn't that I don't like trying new things, just that there are some ingredients that I only know how to cook one way and I am not always as adventurous to try a new method. For me one of those ingredients has been brussel sprouts. The only way I knew how to cook them was roasting them or boiling them as a side vegetable. Now that I think about it there are probably a lot of ways I could try and serve brussel sprouts, it is just until now I had never attempted it.  But after trying this creamy dish I must say I will try to be more adventurous about all of my food because you never know what you might be missing out on.
