I love my brussel sprout straight with just butter and salt and pepper. To prepare brussel sprouts I trim the stem end and remove any discoloured or shreaded outer leaves. I cut each sprout in half and rinse them well in the strainer. I put them in the steamer basket in a pot of water and steam until tender. NOTE: a lot of people cook their sprouts whole. I don't like doing it that way because they can get over cooked and occasionally you will get sprouts that have been harvested in the rain. If they are harvested in the rain, you may find a couple of moldy leaves in the center of a sprout. If you cut them in half before cooking, they cook faster and you don't get any nasty surprises.

If you like to read and you haven't read The Pioneer Woman by Ree Drummond, I recommend it highly. It's very intertaining and funny. Reminded me of I Love Lucy shows - so funny. Wish I personally knew this woman.

We like them simple, with cheese sauce and NO ONIONS/GARLIC.

I'm with you. No garlic pollution. Just the classic taste of the sprouts without adulteration.

This is more or less what I do also but without the onion, garlic and red pepper. OK, so it's just the method not the ingredients that I do. However, it seems to take out any bitterness that the sprouts might have. I have also roasted them but I like the former method better. My dh and middle son used to fight over the sprouts while the other two kids where not so interested in them. Me, I can take them or leave them but much prefer them cooked this way.

Just realized that I live just east of you phyllyog.

My son, the chef, cleans and trims the sprouts, cuts them in half and par cooks them. In another pan he frys a couple of slices of bacon til crisp....remove bacon....chop onion fine....about 3 T - depends on how many you have. cook onion til barely browned in the bacon drippings.....then placed drained, par cooked sprouts into frying pan saute with onions til desired doneness (!) a little salt and pepper. Even confirmed Brussel Sprout haters ate these and loved them.

We were at Sam's Wholesale Club yesterday and one of the tasting stations was cooking up something very similar to your recipe except he also added asparagus to it and just sauted it all in a fry pan until barely done - they used one of their specialty spice combinations. Delicious!

I roast my brussel sprouts and then put some balsamic on. I love Brussel Sprouts, so do the kids thankfully.
