This is the ONLY way I can get the rest of my household to eat brussels sprouts (I think I am the ONLY one who loves these things). Great for a quick work night side dish - easy and healthy too. Sometimes I add Johnny's Salad Elegance, but usually the straight-forward simple recipe does it best on this one for the kids.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

8 ounces frozen Brussels sprouts
2-3 ounces water
black pepper, to taste
4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded (we prefer sharp)

Directions

1
Place brussels sprouts in a medium microwave safe dish with a small amount of water to barely cover the bottom of dish (approx. 2-3 oz).
2
Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 4 minutes (may vary depending on your microwave).
3
Vent carefully to avoid steam burn, sprinkle with pepper if desired and cheese then replace plastic wrap and heat again on high power for another 3 minutes or so until cheese is thoroughly melted.
4
Serve immediately and enjoy! ;).

I steamed the brussel sprouts, added a touchof butter and the cheese, then microwaved to melt the cheese. My DH and I enjoyed them! Thanks!

My first time adding cheese to brussels sprouts and I really enjoyed the flavor. I used a bag of the frozen green gieant steamfresh brussels sprouts. I followed the package directions and then put the sprouts in a dish, topped with pepper and cheese and zapped for another 30 seconds. Easy, easy!

These were good and easy to make. Unfortunately, neither of my kids would still eat them but that was OK because dad and I loved them and got to eat them all ourselves I think they could use a bit of salt though. I love that they are cooked in the microwave. Thanks Mommy Diva for a new way to eat brussel sprouts!
