"We love Brussels Sprouts and this is a tasty preparation for this wonderful vegetable. I've made it without the bread crumbs when DH was low-carbing and it was still wonderful."

Wonderful brussels sprouts! I used the frozen steam bagged brussels sprouts and plain bread crumbs since I had those on hand. So quick and easy to make, the sauce is very good. Just enough zip, great combination! Thank you hon for posting your recipe.
