First, let’s get one thing straight… they’re spelled Brussels Sprouts with an S! Named after their popularity in Brussels, Belgium. They are part of the cabbage group, and they’re delicious!
Although they are good roasted and crispy, they are absolutely insanely delicious sauteed with garlic, butter, and cream. Five very simple ingredients but full of the creamiest flavor. Truly, I can eat the entire bowl.

I will never eat them any other way
I really enjoy brussels sprouts but this seriously is the best. I am in love!! Sauce is so AMAZING that I put it kn my baked potato as well.
This was the perfect side for our family dinner, it was easy to make and tasted awesome. I would have never thought to make creamy brussels, usually I just roast them, but I loved this change in the way to enjoy them.
