I have to admit when I was growing up I was never a fan of Brussels Sprouts … but tastes do change and now I really enjoy them in my menu plans. If you are not too keen on Brussels Sprouts I'm sure this recipe would work with alternatives such as courgettes (zucchini) or aubergines (egg-plant). The joy of any recipe idea/suggestion is that it can be tweaked to suit the individual taste. We have so many great tasting foods - it's a delicious world out there!
Anyway, on to the recipe... here is what you need for a super delicious combination of hearty Brussels sprouts and cheese-covered ground/minced beef.
Serves Four
15 oz. (450g) ground/minced beef
8 oz. (225g) bacon, diced
15 oz. (450g) Brussels sprouts, cut in halves
4 tbsp. sour cream
2 oz. (50g) butter
5 1⁄3 oz. (150g) shredded/grated cheese
1 tbsp. Italian seasoning
salt and pepper, to taste
Method:

Brussels sprouts are rich in many valuable nutrients, and not just to be enjoyed at Christmas. These 'mini cabbages' have a nutty, distinct flavour but they are seen as "The quintessential Christmas dinner veg. Brussels sprouts are thought to have been cultivated in Belgium in the 16th century - hence the name. Although they're related to cabbage - they even look like a miniature, compact version - they have a sweet, nutty flavour, which some people can find bitter. They grow in multiple rows along a thick, central stalk.

I'm a big fan of brussels sprouts. I can eat them with just a bit of butter and herbs. I love them.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I missed the toothbrush post from yesterday, and learned a few things, especially the history of brushing twice daily and not to brush right after a meal. Very informative.
I really don't like them. I blame my mother who boiled them to a nasty soft grey consistency.
ReplyDeleteAnd a question? Did you mean to post the posts which appeared with 'Do Not Post' in the title?
BLOG ERROR?
ReplyDeleteSorry there seemed to be an error this morning … too many posts appeared!?
Not too sure why … but I have since deleted them.
The toothbrush post and the other two will now be posted at another time.
As always many thanks for your comments, they are appreciated.
Happy Friday and last day of August wishes too
All the best Jan
