Kid-Friendly Brussels Sprouts

Mommy Diva's Note:

This is the ONLY way I can get the rest of my household to eat brussels sprouts (I think I am the ONLY one who loves these things). ;) Great for a quick work night side dish - easy and healthy too. Sometimes I add Johnny's Salad Elegance, but usually the straight-forward simple recipe does it best on this one for the kids.

• Total Time: 9 mins
• Prep Time: 2 mins
• Cook Time: 7 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 8 ounces frozen Brussels sprouts
• 2 -3 ounces water
• black pepper , to taste
• 4 ounces cheddar cheese , shredded (we prefer sharp)

Directions:

1. Place brussels sprouts in a medium microwave safe dish with a small amount of water to barely cover the bottom of dish (approx. 2-3 oz).
2. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 4 minutes (may vary depending on your microwave).
3. Vent carefully to avoid steam burn, sprinkle with pepper if desired and cheese then replace plastic wrap and heat again on high power for another 3 minutes or so until cheese is thoroughly melted.
4. Serve immediately and enjoy! ;).

I steamed the brussels sprouts and then added the cheese and melted in the microwave. It was great. Simple but very good. Thanks Chelle :) Made for your cook-a-thon :)

I can only imagine how easy this would be if you had a microwave. I don't have room in my small kitchen for one. I steamed the sprouts instead. Nice, clean taste. I usually load up on butter, but I didn't miss it with this recipe. Thanks Mommy Diva and Fight like a Girl! Hugs

We love brussel sprouts and this was such an easy recipe I had to try. We liked it, but prefer the regular buttered with salt and pepper. However, they were gone by the end of our meal, so I will repeat this recipe, its nice for variety. THank you for sharing this easy recipe.
