Cheesy Bacon Brussels Sprout Casserole

[ssandy_561]

Wanted something to go with steak today and I love Brussels Sprouts so I searched the interweb for Brussels Sprout recipes and I found this.



5 slices thick cut bacon, sliced up
3 Tbsp butter
2 small shallots, minced
2 lbs. Brussels sprouts, halved
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup shredded sharp white cheddar
1/2 cup shredded Gruyere




I got the bacon all happy in my 12” skillet, poured off the grease and then removed the bacon.




Next I melted the 3 Tbsp of butter in the pan and added the shallots and Brussels sprouts




I tossed them around for about 10 minutes adding the pepper and cayenne. I also added back in about a Tbsp of the bacon grease when the sprouts had sucked up all the butter.




Once tender I mixed in the heavy cream and bacon and topped with the cheddar and Gruyere and into a 375 degree oven for about 15 minutes…….and presto, chango…….BEAUTIFUL!



I turned on the broiler for about 3 minutes for some color.

I ate these along with my 2x2 semi-boneless CAB strip steak (2”, 2lb.) that I reversed seared using my Grilla OG with some oak pellets and then finished on my Weber kettle.




Steak was done to a medium rare and the Brussels sprouts were incredible.

This Brussels sprout dish has joined my let’s impress the guest recipe list.

Gonna have a left over lunch at work tomorrow to make my coworkers jealous.

That really looks good. Adding back the bacon fat and the broiler action are the next level moves.

Thanks MBMorgan !

[ssandy_561]

Yes that’s it. I didn’t add salt because bacon is already salty enough in my option and I also cut up the bacon before cooking it since I find it easier to cook this way.
