Roasted Brussels sprouts bring out their natural sweetness and caramelize their edges slightly. With a hint of garlic, Dijon, and lemon mixed in, they become a bright and flavorful side dish that pairs well with a variety of entrees. On the other hand, creamy Brussels sprouts are indulgent and decadent but still healthy. Pancetta or bacon, shallots, and garlic provide savory flavor, while heavy cream and Parmesan cheese create a velvety, rich sauce that coats the tender sprouts. Then we have Brussels sprouts gratin, a cheesy and comforting casserole that's perfect for a holiday dinner. With layers of tender Brussels sprouts, creamy sauce, and a crispy breadcrumb topping, it's sure to impress your guests. Finally, if you're looking for a lighter option, Brussels sprouts slaw is a refreshing and crunchy side dish that's perfect for summer cookouts. Shredded Brussels sprouts are tossed with a tangy dressing made with apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey.

Eating Brussels sprouts was a ho-hum experience at our house until I put together this cheesy bake. After one taste, my husband declared it a "keeper." It's nice alongside ham, pork or beef roasts. -Elizabeth Metz, Albuquerque, New Mexico

CREAMY POTATO-BRUSSELS SPROUTS CASSEROLE
This is one of my favorite Brussels sprouts dishes and I have literally eaten the whole dish by myself (though I was very, very full afterwards). If you are serving it as a side, it'll feed 5- to 6 people. As a main. I would say 2 or 3, but 4 is probably more reasonable for normal vegetable eaters.... Do not skimp on the salt, pepper, and nutmeg otherwise the casserole will be too bland (but you can of course always salt at the table).

CREAMY BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON
Quick and easy to prepare, and not a bad way to get the young'uns to eat the much-hated Brussels Sprouts. The sweet & smoky bacon counters the bitterness of the sprouts. And don't use non-fat sour cream - full fat works better.

CREAMY BRAISED BRUSSELS SPROUTS
From 'Recipes from the Root Cellar'. "This is a luxurious way of cooking Brussels sprouts, perhaps not for every day (or even every week), but the cream does have a wonderful way of taming the often unruly (read: sulfurous) flavor of Brussels sprouts. Don't underestimate the power of the salt and balsamic vinegar for bringing the flavors together; taste and adjust as needed." I think this side dish would be an appropriate addition to your Thanksgiving/Holiday menu!
