Bacon Parmesan Brussel Sprouts-Chinese Foods

Bacon Parmesan Brussel Sprouts-Chinese Foods:

Flown in December, has it not? This month has been crazy busy for everyone I know.  For me, my month with activities related to the release of my Cookbook
has been filled including interviews and a book release party. It's hard to remember that sometimes we need to sit back and take a breather.
But I am looking forward to Christmas. This Bacon Parmesan brussel sprouts were staple holiday in my home for the past 3 years. Think about it. Bacon. Parmesan cheese. Brussels sprouts.
It is a little decadent, indeed. But is not December celebrating and treat yourself (and the lucky ones who have Christmas dinner with you?)

Basically you crisp the bacon then Sauté in a pan, the Brussels sprouts and shallot and garlic in the drippings of bacon, making them a great smoky flavor. Then you layer the Brussels Sprouts with Parmesan and the Casserole in the oven bake, until the Brussels sprouts and golden and the cheese is nice and melty.
It is so easy, that implementing this in your holiday menu will not add even an ounce of stress.
