To make keto brussels sprouts and bacon you will need

  • Brussels sprouts
  • Bacon cut into tiny pieces (can replace with bacon crumbles)
  • your favorite melting CHEESE (a mixture of mozzarella and parmesan is the best)
  • Heavy cream
  • lots of GARLIC

 It all starts with caramelizing the bacon bits until they are crispy (if you have bacon crumbles on hand you can go ahead and skip this step and go straight to cooking the brussels sprouts in butter and topping the dish with the bacon crumbles later). Next, the bacon is removed from the pan and you’re left with bacon fat that will contribute even more flavor to the dish. Butter, brussels sprouts, onion, garlic, and seasoning are adding to the bacon fat and cooked until tender then topped with the heavy cream and cheese.

The bacon is then returned to the dish as a topping and at this point, you are almost done and all that’s needed is to put the dish in the oven to cook the Brussels sprouts until tender, melt the cheese and form a crispy crust that is out of this world!

  1. I was never keen on brussels sprouts. But this recipe has changed that. It’s rich, creamy, and easy.

  2. A-maaazing!

    REally enjoyed this recipe, easy to make!

  3. This recipe is a 10/10 I seasoned with my heart ❤️ we’ll be making this again and again.

  4. Any suggestions if I want to make a bigger batch of this for Thanksgiving? Does doubling all of the ingredients as listed work? I’m very much a recipe follower so I don’t wanna guess and mess it up. This sounds amazing.

  5. This was soooo good! I made a vegetarian version of it and it tasted very similar to a really good homemade spinach and artichoke dip. I toasted some plain keto bread on the side for dipping and it was delicious!

  6. Is it 1 teaspoon of Italian Seasoning as mentioned in the ingredient list or 1 tablespoon as mentioned in the instructions?

  7. What is one serving? 1 cup 1/2 cup 3/4 cup?
    Does anyone know?

    1. at the bottom of the Blue Box it says
      Cook Time: 20 minutes Servings: 4 people Calories: 508kcal

      Considering what is in t, that would be 508 per serving, or 2,016 if you eat the whole thing yourself. Sounds like you might, given the ingrediants.

  8. Are the nutritional facts per serving or the whole dish?

    1. Just made this and my whole family loved it, even the kids. thank you!
