So let’s get started! Here’s what you’ll need to make a batch of Cheesy Bacon Brussels Bowls:
Ingredients:
• 2 Tbsp of olive oil
• 1 lb of Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
• 8 ounces of bacon, cooked and chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup of chicken broth
• 2 Tbsp of all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 Tbsp of butter
• 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
2. In a large bowl, toss your Brussels sprouts in 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet, and roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat. Once cooked, remove from the heat and place the bacon on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the excess grease. Once it is cool enough to handle, chop it into small pieces.
4. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the minced garlic. Sauté until the garlic is softened and fragrant.
5. Add the chicken broth and the all-purpose flour to the skillet, and cook until the mixture thickens.
6. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the parmesan cheese, butter, salt, and pepper. Stir constantly until the cheese is melted.
7. Add the bacon bits and Brussels sprouts to the skillet, and stir to combine.
8. Serve hot.
