My family loved this recipe. My DH was not thrilled about trying this but he sure did change his mind. We all loved it. Thank you very much.

I am so glad this recipe was added. I made this last thanksgiving from the Everyday Food magazine. It was a big hit even with my family that didn't like Brussels sprouts. They are asking for it again this year and thankfully I found the recipe here because I couldn't remember where it was from. Last year I used a thick cut applewood smoked bacon and the dish was fabulous!!!

This was a wonderful recipe for brussel sprouts (one of my favorite veggies). I fixed this tonight for supper using granny smith apples. Everyone loved it. I already have this saved to my cookbook. Thanks for such a great recipe.
