I love Brussels Sprouts but my family not so much, or more like not at all. Seeing as I mostly make dishes – from mains to dessert – to their preferences, I do now and then put my foot down and make what *I* want.

But honestly, they surprised me when I served these Parmesan Bacon Brussels Sprouts ! Unbelievable, they loved it ! Must the Bacon, it’s always the Bacon that does it, right ?

Also, if you know some of my recipes, you would know I adore any kind of food on a stick – absolutely fun and awesome.

The Brussels Sprouts are cooked until just tender in advance, therefore the only cooking required right before serving is the Bacon.

For this part, you can roast them in the oven, pan-fry or slap the them on the barbeque. Let’s not forget the health grillers – love making these on my George Foreman as well.

Cook these to either just done or until the Bacon is crispy – this is up to you. I prefer the meaty part of the Bacon to still be a little tender, but the edges crispy.

We love brussels sprouts, so I think this would be a hit here. I love the idea of having them at a BBQ. Hard to picture right now, since it is snowing AGAIN, but someday it will be warm again and we'll be outside... sigh!
