Author: Shawn iwashyoudry.com

Yields1 Serving
 12 oz bacon, thick cut, cut into pieces
 2 lbs Brussels Sprouts, trimmed and halved
 Salt and Pepper , to taste
 2 tsp garlic, minced
 2 tbsp butter
 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
 1 ½ cups heavy cream, or half and half
 ⅓ cup parmesan cheese, shredded
 ¾ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F

2

Cook bacon in a large cast iron skillet until browned and crisp. Use a slotted spoon to remove bacon to a paper towel lined plate. Remove and discard all but 2 to 3 tbsp of bacon grease.

3

Add Brussels sprouts to bacon grease in pan and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook Brussels sprouts over medium-high heat until they are lightly charred, about 6 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant.

4

Remove Brussels Sprouts from pan to a plate (or baking dish if not using an oven safe pan). Melt the butter in the pan over medium heat and then whisk in the flour. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream until heated through, then stir in the parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.

5

Add the Brussels sprouts and bacon back to the pan and stir to coat (or if using a baking dish, pour cream mixture over Brussels sprouts and bacon and stir to coat). Finish off with the mozzarella cheese and give it a quick stir.

6

Bake in oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the center of dish is bubbly and Brussels sprouts are tender. Enjoy right away.
