Wow, these are great! Love the flavors and the crispness that develops during roasting. We left the cheese out, it didn't really go for us. I can see why this made it into someone's best of the year cookbook! We like a lot of vegetables, so this fed 3 for us.

This recipe was included in Book#228608. 11/02/08 --These were FANTASTIC!! Roasting the brussels sprouts with the bacon and onion really enhanced the flavor of the brussels sprouts and cooking the bacon and onion in the vinaigrette brought everything together into one delicious brussels sprouts recipe. Even my fussy son loved them!! Instead of buying a premade balsamic vinagrette, I just mixed some extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The dressing added the perfect touch to this great recipe!! It's already on my list to make as a side dish again. Thanks, Redsie!!

I'm so sorry Redsie, but this just didn't work out for us. I'm not a brussels sprouts fan to begin with so I was counting on my husband for the review. He LOVES brussels sprouts, but he just didn't care for this.

This had a very different flavor. The balsamic vinaigrette seemed to over power the taste of the sprouts but it could have been the vinaigrette I used. Loved the flavor the bacon added. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! This is good! I used TasteTesters suggestion and made my own vinaigrette. Worked great. This is very colorful while cooking. Not sure if you really need to add the cheese. I tried them before the addition and thought they were outstanding. Next time I think I will omit the cheese and save a few calories. Very easy to prepare. Thanks for posting.
