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.
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!

Jacey says
Should you cook the brussel sprouts prior? Or this recipe calls for raw brussel sprouts?
Amy @ The Blond Cook says
Hi Jacey, I used raw brussels sprouts in this recipe.

Cindy says
Can this be prepared ahead of time and baked right before serving?
Amy @ The Blond Cook says
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! 🙂
