Description

Ingredients

• 2 lbs brussel sprouts
• 10 slices cooked bacon
• 1 Tablespoon butter
• 2 Tablespoons flour
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup pepper jack cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper

Directions

• Cut off the stem of the brussel sprouts and remove any yellow leaves. Chop brussel sprouts in half length wise.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil and boil brussel sprouts for about 5 minutes or until tender. Drain and rinse brussel sprouts in cold water so the cooking stops. Set aside.
• In a pan over medium heat melt butter. Add in flour and whisk to make roux. (If you are using uncooked bacon, you can substitute the butter for the leftover bacon grease in the pan).
• Add milk and whisk until completely incorporated. Cook on medium heat, stirring, until mixture thickens.
• Remove from heat and stir in cheese, salt, and pepper until cheese is completely melted.
• Add brussel sprouts and crumbled bacon to cheese sauce and mix until combined.
• Move brussel sprouts to a small 8x8 pan and top with more mozarella cheese.
• Bake for 25 minutes or until cheese begins to golden on top.
