Ingredients
- Brussels Sprouts – Could have guessed that one right? I used two pounds of fresh brussels sprouts, cut into halves. I wouldn’t recommend using frozen – I have never been a fan of frozen brussels!
- Garlic -2 teaspoons of minced garlic
- Bacon – Feel free to use any bacon or cured meat of choice. I did use regular bacon in this recipe.
- Heavy Cream – You will need 1 cup of heavy whipping cream to make your sauce.
- Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, & Salt – 1 teaspoon of each or to taste.
- Shredded Mozzarella Cheese – I used 2 ounces (about 1/4 cup) or shredded mozzarella cheese to top this dish off.
How To Make It
- Heat a large deep skillet over medium heat.
- Add the bacon to the skillet and cook until crispy. Set aside and chop into small pieces. Leave leftover bacon grease in the pan.
- Add the brussels sprouts, garlic and salt to your pan and cook for 10 minutes.
- While Brussels sprouts cook, mix together the heavy cream, onion powder, and garlic powder.
- When the brussels sprouts are done, turn off the heat and pour the heavy cream mixture over them.
- Add the bacon and stir until fully incorporated. Top with the shredded mozzarella cheese and place the lid on the skillet. Let the cheese melt.
- Serve and enjoy!!
