Oh and BTW, yes, everything IS better with bacon. I’ve even had chocolate-dipped bacon strips which were truly transcendent.

OK I absolutely LOVE brussels sprouts, but DH thinks they’re straight from Satan. Wonder if I could get him to eat them made like this? Not surprisingly, we pretty much always have bacon and cream in the house, heh.

This one is tagged as “vegetarian”. I’m going to try it with veggie bacon, but it is definitely NOT a vegetarian recipe!

Everything, especially Brussels sprouts, is better with bacon. Love the sound of this!

This dish sounds wonderful! I only tried brussels sprouts within the past few years, too, and they’re one of my favorite vegetables now!

I’m with your Dad on this one, but your recipe is making me think that I could give them another go. Love that you spike them with a little lemon juice at the end. Bet it cuts through the richness of the bacon and cream, and the natural bitterness of the sprouts (which is why I think I don’t like them). Thanks!

Bacon + Brussel Sprouts = heaven. The smokiness of the bacon definitely give the very earthy vegetable. And the addition of cream…these sprouts are on another level. Thanks for sharing!

I didn’t grow up with brussels sprouts either- but you are right, this dish is an incredible way to enjoy them! Just mention the bacon and cream and anyone will be willing to take a bite. =)
