This was delicious. It made a great side dish to a main course of roasted chicken. It was filling enough to be both a starch and a green vegetable. I used bacon rather than pancetta, and cut the recipe in half since there were just two of us and I wanted to try it before making for company. It's easy to do and has minimal prep. My only suggestion is to either pre-cook the veggies for less time- just until crisp tender, or to bake for less time. The Brussels sprouts lost their color so the dish wasn't as pretty. But it was very tasty and I will try it again for sure. Recommended!

This was a great way to cook brussels sprouts and I have entered it into my veggie rotation for dinner. The only change I made was to crisp up a piece of prosciutto in the microwave and crumble it in the casserole before baking because we aren't a big fans of pancetta. Thank you for this recipe!

Brussel Sprouts never tasted so good! Delicious on its own or served as an accompaniment. Relatively quick and easy.

This turned out well! I left out the bacon because I wanted it to be veggie only. I also used some pepper jack cheese in addition to the Parmesan for more flavor.

All my guests raved about this recipe. I made one change from pancetta to coppa.

This is s delicious and rich dish that would go well with roast beef! It is my favorite dish thus far using these vegetables. I think if I tripled the cream sauce it would go great as a pasta sauce!
