This Brussels Sprout Casserole is an easy and one pan dish! An easy recipe means something different for everyone, but for me, it’s all about keeping it tasty but with a small amount of ingredients and the process is as short and straightforward as possible. And this one has bonus points for minimal cleanup! Cook a few strips of bacon in a skillet, then brown the sprouts in the rendered fat. The rest of the ingredients go directly into the skillet, then into an oven safe dish and it’s popped into the oven for ooey-gooey vegetable perfection.
Prepare Your Brussels Sprouts
Each year, I grow Brussel Sprouts in my garden. They are the last item that is harvested from the garden and the first thing I cook. Whether fresh from the garden, or fresh from the grocery store, you will need to prepare the Brussel sprouts. First, with any vegetable, you should wash the vegetables before using. I like to put warm water in a larger mixing bowl with some salt and use a large spoon to move the Brussel sprouts around and clean any excess dirt or tiny little visitors. Next, trim the ends of the sprouts and remove any loose leaves from the outside. Now your Brussel sprouts are ready to cook.
