Smokey Gouda Brussels Sprouts

I created this tasty veggie dish for people like me, quite frankly, who are NOT very fond of this vegetable.  And I succeeded!  I loved this smokey, cheesy rendition of this nutritious vegetable!  And I just don’t say that very often about Brussels sprouts.  We both thorougly enjoyed this and will be making it again.  A lovely side dish for your Holiday table, for sure!  This veggie dish is suitable for all phases of Atkins, Keto diets and Primal Blueprint as well.

INGREDIENTS:

14 oz. frozen Brussels sprouts

4 slices coarsely chopped bacon

2 oz. yellow onion, chopped

4 oz. smoked Gouda cheese, shredded/grated

DIRECTIONS:  Boil Brussels sprouts for 3 minutes.  Cut them in halves or smaller if you prefer.  In skillet, brown bacon.  Add chopped onion and saute together until onion caramelized.  Toss in the Brussels sprouts and stir, cooking for just a few minutes.  Transfer to baking dish if you prefer.  Top with grated cheese and bake at 350º for 15-20 minutes.  I’ve also done this dish without the bacon:
