It’s November already and it’s time to start talking about Thanksgiving dinner. This month I’ll be sharing recipes that are my “go-to” Thanksgiving recipes.

Whether you’re hosting for your family or bringing a side dish to a family get together, these brussel sprouts au gratin will keep people coming for more.

Tools You’ll Need

  • skillet
  • wooden spoon
  • cutting board
  • sharp knife
  • baking dish
  • garlic press
  • cheese grater

Ingredients

cream, bowl of brussel sprouts, cheese, butter, garlic, salt and pepper on a counter
  • 1/2 stick of butter
  • 4 c. brussel sprouts, halved
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 c. heavy cream
  • 1 c. shredded parmesan cheese

Side Notes

This recipe works really well with bags of frozen brussel sprouts! In fact, I’ve used it more with frozen than with fresh. I do prefer fresh Brussels, but I tend to always have frozen ones in my house than fresh.

You can also use any Italian styled cheese you like as well. This dish is very versatile. It just depends on what you like!

    That looks so yummy! And I like that you can use frozen ones for it – I find that produce stock is really unpredictable lately and frozen is a better bet.

      Thank you! Unfortunately you’re right. I hate that there’s so much unknown when it comes to the stores right now. With the frozen, I don’t halve them. I leave them whole!
