Cheesy Brussels sprouts in oven

The creamy cheddar cheese really helps to elevate the oven roasted tender Brussels sprouts by adding a luscious texture to each bite.

The melted cheddar cheese also helps to balance the bitterness of the Brussels sprouts to make a comforting dish than many enjoy.

I love that you can make this dish with and without bacon depending on what your serving and what you fancy.

For easy side dish casseroles I have you covered with Paula Deans amazing cheesy corn casserole, green bean casserole, pineapple casserole, Ruth’s Chris sweet potato casserole, and my copycat Cracker Barrel cheesy hash brown casserole.

How to make cheesy Brussels sprouts

These Brussels sprouts with cheese sauce come together very quickly and are a great side dish for any meal. These delish Brussel sprouts may be the only way you’ll ever eat them after you try this recipe 🙂

1. Trim the ends from the Brussels sprouts and remove and loose leaves.

4. Gradually whisk in flour, stirring constantly for 1 and 1/2 minutes.

5. Slowly whisk in milk, and continue to cook while whisking constantly.

6. Cook sauce for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.

10. Top with remaining shredded cheddar cheese. 

11. Bake in 375F oven for 25 minutes.
