Cheesy Brussels Sprouts with Bacon ?

Cheesy Brussels Sprouts with Bacon ?



            Growing up, I HATED brussels sprouts… with a passion!  My Dad loved them, but even the smell of them cooking would be enough for me to scrunch up my face in disgust.  As an adult, I’ve been trying things more and more, and once I tried them sautéedwith some hazelnut butter, or roastedon a sheet pan, I realized, I’d be totally missing out.  Sprouts are fantastic!!  But once I tried them this way, sautéed with shallots and garlic, drizzled with cream, smothered in gooey cheese and topped with crispy bacon… I officially fell in LOVE

The smell of these brussels sprouts cooking was mouthwatering, and taking the photos for this post was pure torture… I wanted to eat some!!  Once this photo shoot was over, I literally stood there eating forkful after forkful before I realized I should probably save some for dinner to share lol.
You may have seen recipes like this floating around on Pinterest, but most of them require you to make a béchamel sauce before baking.  That certainly isn’t incredibly difficult or even time consuming, but I wanted a recipe you could literally just add things to the pot (after sautéing) and bake.  Easy. Peasy.

The to-live-for marinade/glaze is a harmonious concoction of brown sugar, pineapple...
