Brussel sprouts don’t look as gross when they’re shaved and tossed with a bunch of bacon. Am I right?

Jason LOVES brussel sprouts. I’ve never had one til I met him. I just thought they kinda looked gross. Like little wrinkly heads. It’s not like I never had it because I didn’t want to try it, I just never went out of my way to buy them and it’s not something I ordered at restaurants. My parents never cooked with them either. I love cabbage though so I knew I’d like cooking and eating shaved brussel sprouts.

Jason and I actually came up with this recipe together. He really had a huge craving for brussel sprouts and I needed one more recipe to complete my 10 days of Thanksgiving sides and desserts so I figured we’d collaborate on one of his favorite ingredients.

After making this, I’m a lover of brussel sprouts. Plus, the pancetta part wasn’t bad, either ;)

  1. Hi Julie!

    Love some brussel sprouts! I am considering making these for our family thanksgiving, but will be traveling with them. What do you think about reheating? Bad idea or do you think it will be fine?

    Thanks for your opinion and all the fabulous recipes! I am in LOVE with your stuffing recipe. We have it year-round!

    1. Reheating will totally be fine! We’ve reheated this numerous times as we had leftovers and it still tastes great! :) I’m so glad you love the stuffing recipe too! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
