Although the main course usually gets a lot of focus for special holiday dinners it’s also important to have some tasty sides and these roasted brussels sprouts and bacon in a creamy mustard sauce are a great way to go! This brussels sprout side dish is super easy to make where you pretty much just need to roast the brussels sprouts, cook the bacon and make the sauce.

It starts out with some onions and garlic followed by some flour to thicken the sauce, some milk, the grainy mustard and a hit of miso before it is finished off with some parmesan cheese. You really cannot go wrong with this roasted brussels sprout side dish as a side for your special holiday meal!

    Hi, your list of ingredients is missing some garlic. The directions mention garlic twice while the list of ingredients only lists one.

    Made this for Christmas dinner and making it again for Easter dinner tomorrow. BUT can you tell me if this can be either partially or completely done today and either finished or just reheated tomorrow?

    Christine Martin: I find the texture of the roasted brussels sprouts is best on the first day but you can roast them the day before, keep the separate from the sauce and just mix and reheat when ready.

    You are right, Kevin. Yesterday when I roasted the sprouts I could have eaten the whole pan just as they were (almost did!). Today they have taken on a bit of the bitter taste of sprouts. Still love them, but maybe everyone won't. All in all definitely a keeper recipe. I have never roasted sprouts before but definitely will again. Thanks so much for this delish recipe! Phyllis
