These cheesy Brussels sprouts are pan-seared, covered with cheese and bacon, and baked to tender perfection, and pair well with an array of main dish recipes!

Cheese. Bacon. Brussels Sprouts. Don’t let that last one throw you. This is one side dish that you want on your plate. And if you love Brussels sprouts and you want to share that love with someone who maybe isn’t so sure…this is the dish to convince them.

I’ve cooked Brussels sprouts a lot, and if I’ve learned anything at all, it is that undercooked Brussels are bitter and I wouldn’t blame anyone that ran away and never tried them again. The key to good sprouts is making sure they are cooked to tender perfection. And this Cheesy Brussels Sprouts Bake definitely meets that criteria.

The sprouts are tender and pair nicely with the creamy, melted cheese and crisp bacon. Great texture, lots of flavor, and even the pickiest of eaters might be fooled enough to try (and love) it!
