Creamy Garlic Brussels Sprouts Recipe Tips:
- These creamy garlic brussels sprouts keep well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- Swap out the parmesan for another hard, grateable cheese like romano or asiago, if desired.
- Make this recipe vegetarian by skipping the bacon and using mushrooms for flavor instead.
- Sub in your favorite hearty vegetable if you don’t have Brussels sprouts on hand. Cauliflower, carrots, broccoli, and green beans would all be delicious here also.
