Sauce for Brussels Sprouts
Why is it that Brussels sprouts always get a bad rap? I must admit, growing up I was a little wary of them, I’m not sure why. Maybe because in all the kids books they are always knocking them, or maybe it was just playground rumors? Either way, once I gave them a fair chance I actually found that I LIKED them! But it still takes a little convincing and some creativity to get my family to eat them. This cheesy Brussels sprout sauce is ticket to getting my kids (and husband!) to clear their plates. This cheese sauce is full of cheesy tangy flavor and just the right consistency for dipping. We love eating with with Brussels sprouts but it is great for other vegetables, tortilla chips, and crackers as well.

Suggestions for Cooking Brussels Sprouts
There are several ways to cook up these little green veggies, but some methods are definitely better than others. Boiling them is a good way to use with this Brussels sprout sauce recipe. Or you can try some of these options:
Sauté the sprouts right on the stove top. Melt some butter in a pan, then add halved sprouts and sauté until the outer part is caramelized and the insides are tender. You can roast these babies too! The roasting process cuts the bitterness of the vegetables and you’ll get a crisp, crunchy side dish that doesn’t taste like a veggie at all. For easy clean up line your prepared baking sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, then drizzle on a little olive oil and sprinkle on some kosher salt. Grill them outside on the grill, or use a grill pan on the stove top. You can steam the sprouts in the microwave by covering several in a microwave safe dish with a little water and microwave until they’re tender. Season with salt.
