Delicious Sauteed Brussel Sprouts are an easy side dish to prepare for any dinner. Mixed in are bacon and cashews! YUM!
Let’s talk about these Sauteed Brussel Sprouts!
Every other Sunday afternoon, my husbands family gets together and has a big dinner. We all take our turns making the main course and accompanying sides. Yesterday, I got to make a side dish. Well, me being the adventurous type experimented with these Brussel Sprouts and fed them to my entire extended family. Yes, I am one of those people who feed my family my culinary experiments…..with Brussel sprouts no less! To be honest, I wasn’t really worried that this wouldn’t turn out because it has butter and bacon in it. Who doesn’t want to eat their greens after the butter bacon application? No one in the Brennan family because this entire dish was devoured! The adults, the kids, nieces, nephews- everyone liked them!
They still had the Brussel sprouts flavor, because after all, they are still Brussel sprouts BUT it wasn’t strong–especially after being cooked with onions and bacon! YUM YUM.
Brussels are like mini cabbages so when you slice them, they look like they’ve been shredded. And, when you cut them like this, they cook faster too! This veggie side dish came together in a snap and looked nice and vibrant on our plates! It was a nice change from plain old steamed carrots or peas and didn’t take very much brain power to have it come together.
All in all, a great Sunday dinner and a delicious new way to eat your greens! Try it sometime! You might be surprised who likes it!

I’m impressed, I need to say. Really hardly ever do I encounter a weblog that’s each educative and entertaining, and let me inform you, you will have hit the nail on the head. Your concept is excellent; the issue is one thing that not sufficient individuals are speaking intelligently about. I’m very joyful that I stumbled across this in my seek for one thing relating to this.
I made this recipe for a side dish this Thanksgiving and it was a big hit! Thank you so much for so many great ideas.
Outstanding sprouts! Off the hook good !!!! 🙂
I absolutely LOVE this recipe! It is so yummy!
I can’t wait to try this for my husband.
I’m not a fan but I’ll eat a few if cooked like this. :))
Yum! I love brussel sprouts and am always looking for new ways to make them. Awesome recipe!
I have seriously never eaten brussel sprouts before! I am gonna have to try this!
I need to comment on this. There wasn’t enough and I didn’t get all I wanted (hint, hint, sometime, Lauren). I have never fed brussel sprouts to my family as I always hated them. But not here. This was a fabulous dish!
I think I need to start doing that at my house. It sounds like a fun tradition. I’ll have to try this with my family. A great way to introduce brussel sprouts.
