This must be my week for Brussels sprouts 🙂 Since Ashley had her baby this week, Sarah asked if I could make her dish, and I was happy to step in so that she could focus on her new bundle of joy. It was side-dish extravaganza at my house and I was loving every minute!
I think of this more as a main dish than a side dish, because of the sausage, but no matter what you call it…it’s delicious!! And, another fabulous way to cook the veggie that is quickly becoming my favorite. I used bacon instead of pancetta because it was last minute and I had bacon on hand. And hey, they’re in the same pork family 😉
Keep an eye out for that pizza…I see it coming in the near future. And, make sure to check out all the other side dish recipes below!

Yumm bacon switch!!! You should try it and/or the pizza with pancetta too, lends a more subtle flavor 🙂
