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.
