    Brussels sprouts have finally been thrust into the spotlight.  Man alive, you can find them on almost every restaurant menu, prepared all kinds of ways. If I am going to eat brussels sprouts, cover them in cheese, cream, and crispy bacon and call it good. That's the way to devour vegetables!

    These brussels sprouts are sauteed in butter and onions and then roasted in the oven with heavy cream and sharp cheddar cheese. I mean, come on?! I am all over eating vegetables covered in melty cheddar cheese and crispy bacon! You might just even get vegetable haters to actually try vegetables! Cross fingers.

    How to make Creamy Cheesy Brussels Sprouts with Bacon:

    1.  Cook bacon until crispy and set aside to drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Remove from pan and then saute onions in butter. This is what develops the flavor in the onions.
    2. Cut the brussels sprouts in half and cut off the ends.  Add to the skillet and cook for 10 minutes, stirring often. Sprinkle with salt.
    3. If you are using an ovenproof skillet, you can place it straight in the oven or can transfer the brussels sprouts to a baking dish.
    4. Pour heavy cream all over the brussels sprouts and sprinkle with cheese.
    5. Cover and bake for 12-15 minutes. Remove the foil and cook until cheese is bubbly.
