Cheesy Brussels Sprouts with Bacon

Brussels Sprouts made more delicious with a creamy cheese sauce and bacon!

Side dishes can be a little boring. I put so much focus on the main dish that sides are often an afterthought. Both of my boys happen to love salads so that’s what I frequently serve with dinner. I’ve been trying to introduce new vegetables to them each week and also continually offering those veggies that they don’t L.O.V.E. at first bite. Brussels sprouts are definitely one of those veggies. I think you either love them or hate them. I happen to really love them, my husband – not so much. I think serving up Brussels sprouts with creamy cheese sauce and topping them with bacon is a great way to introduce Brussels sprouts and man are they good!

We all know that I love cooking for my family but I’m always on the lookout for shortcuts in the kitchen. Progresso Recipe Starters are available in five flavorful varieties and are a great way to save time AND add flavor to your meals.

I’m officially hungry! I used the Creamy Three Cheese sauce in this recipe and have my eye on the Fire Roasted Tomato- yum!
