Creamy Brussels Sprouts With Bacon

When I was in high school, I went over to a friends house and her parents were boiling brussels sprouts.  I remember thinking how gross is smelled in their house and never wanting to eat brussels sprouts in my life. 

Fast forward 10 years, I have tried brussels sprouts and I love them.  

Anytime I mention loving brussels sprouts to anyone, they act like I am insane.  But they are one of my favorite vegetables!  If you are skeptical, try my recipe before you deny brussels sprouts!  This creamy brussels sprouts recipe is my favorite vegetable recipe I have ever eaten.  My husband says it’s his favorite recipe too!

Most the time when people tell me they don’t like vegetables, I go on to tell them that they probably don’t know how to cook them properly or in a delicious way.  Vegetables are like a blank canvas, they need some FLAVOR!  Try out my Flavorful and Quick Frozen Vegetables for another delicious veggie recipe.

Creamy Brussel Sprouts with bacon is keto diet friendly, low carb and gluten free.

All you need for this recipes is a skillet with lid.

INGREDIENTS

• Brussel sprouts
• Garlic salt
• Cream cheese
• Bacon bits
• Heavy cream
• Water

You can use light cream cheese if you prefer, but I like the taste of regular cream cheese better.

You can also use real bacon, I just like how easy this recipe is with the bacon bits!  Plus, if you have a well-stocked pantry like I do, you might already have bacon bits on hand and it saves a little time.

You can find real bacon bits pieces that taste delicious.

How To Make Creamy Brussels Sprouts with Bacon

First, chop your brussels sprouts.  Cut the ends off and slice them, making them the perfect bite size for this dish (like shown in the picture below).

Then place them in your skillet with a little bit of water and cover with lid.  Using water instead if oil helps cook the brussels sprouts through and also eliminates unnecessary calories.  

Cook over medium heat until they are almost cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.

Remove lid, add garlic salt, bacon bits, cream cheese, and heavy cream.

Turn heat down to low and cook 3-5 minutes or until the brussels sprouts with bacon get creamy and thick.

ENJOY!

Told ya it was easy!
