Excellent! I loved the flavor of the bacon and caraway with the brussel sprouts. I halved the recipe, but used 2 slices of bacon anyway. Thank you for sharing the recipe. -
I love Brussels sprouts, and these were the best ever! I was asked to make some for a Canadian Thanksgiving potluck, and I didn't want to make just buttered ones. For our larger crowd of 16, I used 3lbs of sprouts, 4 slices of bacon, 1 large onion, 1-1/2 cup broth, and 2 teasp. caraway. Mnay dinner guests said they were great Brussels sprouts, and very little was left. Thanks for the recipe! -
Very good, brussel sprouts are not a popular vegetable, but I sure do love them! With that bacon, onion, and caraway seed combo, it had a kind of German flavor. I got the sprout fresh from the farm (I honestly didn't know they grew on a cone like that) and followed the directions exactly. I don't know what significance the "x" cut did either, but they came out perfectly textured. Thanks for a great flavorful veggie dish. I'll make it again, 'twas really easy! -
Absolutely Delicious!!! We made this for Christmas Dinner and Again on New Year's - WONDERFUL!! Slitting the brussel sprouts on the core tends to take away some of the bitterness - which went over well with my family. The second time that I made this (today) I added some slivered toasted almonds! Great touch! I also added two more slices of bacon. Great recipe and thank-you for posting this delicious and easy recipe!!
