    If there’s anyone that doesn’t care for brussels sprouts… these Baked Cheesy Brussels Sprouts just may change your mind!

    Baked brussels sprouts with cheese and bacon in a cast iron skillet.

    Hey hey!  Just 7 days until the Thanksgiving feast!  Are you a lover of brussels sprouts?  If so,  you’re going to totally fall in looooooove with this recipe.  Not only is it topped with that glorious cheese, there’s BACON involved.  Heck yes.  If you’re wanting to keep this recipe vegetarian, simply omit the bacon.

    A spoon spooning cheesy brussels sprouts with bacon from a cast iron skillet.

    This recipe calls for cooking the brussels sprouts and shallots in a large oven-safe skillet, since you’ll transfer the skillet from the stove top to the oven.  If you don’t have one, then cook in a large skillet on the stove top as directed, then transfer the mixture to a casserole dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray and add your additional ingredients.

    If you enjoy brussels sprouts as much as I do, this MUST be on your holiday table.  Enjoy!

      Should you cook the brussel sprouts prior? Or this recipe calls for raw brussel sprouts?

      Can this be prepared ahead of time and baked right before serving?

        Hey Cindy, I’ve never made it ahead of time and baked it so I can’t say positively, but I wouldn’t have any problem doing it myself because I think it would be fine to do that. Hope you enjoy and have a wonderful Thanksgiving! 🙂

      We love Brussels but I’ve never tried baking them with cheese. They look SO good!
