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.
