These were very good, and a nice change of pace to the original roasted brussel sprout.(which we eat regularly. I boiled them for about 4 minutes, then sliced in half and baked in oven for about 25 minutes.until roasted. Then I poured the sauce over and baked an additonal 5 minutes. Thanks for the great dish!!!

I can't wait to try this recipe. I am especially intrigued by the placement of the cut X in the bottom to cut the bitterness. I am posting this here so I will have an easier time finding the recipe when I get some brussel sprouts.

I'd like to preface this review with both my husband and I loathe brussel sprouts. Have since we were forced to eat them as little kids (although not together since we were on opposite sides of the country as little kids). However, served like this? It has changed both of our minds. My hubby who loudly proclaimed that there was no way in heck he would eat brussel sprouts, that they were vile tools of the devil, was intrigued when he saw me tossing them in bacon and onions. I did sautee 1/2 of a yellow onion with the bacon and tossed the cooked brussel sprouts in the bacon/onion/bacon fat yumminess before tossing with the sour cream and cheese. Wonderful! I may actually add brussel sprouts to the grocery list next week. I said 'may' :)

These were delicious! I used precooked turkey bacon because that's what I had. Such good flavor & easy. Thank you for the recipe.

Needed a change, saw this recipe and decided that it was on the menu for last night. I don't know what else I can say but I'll add my WOW! I mixed the sauce in a bowl while the sprouts were steaming. After draininng the sprouts I simply added the sauce which combined with the little bit of wated left in the pot. The pot was warm and the sprouts were warm so the sauce heated through without having to cook it seperately. We like sprouts so there were only five left over for my breakfast! Tasting the sauce before adding it to the sprouts made me want to try it on chicken, will do that next week! Thanks
