Brussels Gratin


6-8 servings 286 Cal


Ingredients:


2 lbs fresh brussel sprouts, ends trimmed, cut in half
3 TBLSP unsalted butter, melted

Black pepper
1 cup coarse bread crumbs

¼ cup finely grated gruyere cheese

1 ¼ cup heavy cream, room temperature


LET’S GET COOKING!


Preheat oven to 425f

Mix bread crumbs, salt, and pepper in a bowl, set aside

Toss brussels in a mixing bowl with butter, salt, pepper, and gruyere

Spread brussels evenly In a 9x13” baking dish (I used a foil pan as it was being taken with us to Thanksgiving)

Cook 15 minutes, toss brussels around (they should be getting crisp and brown spots should be showing up)

Add heavy cream to brussels, return to oven

Bake 10 (or so) more minutes or until heavy cream is a sauce like consistency

Remove from oven, set to broil

Spread bread crumbs evenly on top of brussels
Return to oven, broil until bread crumbs are golden brown (start checking at about 3 minutes)


Notes:

You could also precook a protein like chicken or sausage and add it in when you put the cream in the brussels




Green Bean Casserole


8 servings 


Ingredients:


4 cups green beans (fresh or frozen)

1- 10.5 oz can condensed cream of mushroom soup

½ cup milk

1 tsp soy sauce (I use low sodium)

½ tsp pepper

½ tsp seasoning salt

1 ½ cup crispy onions (any flavor you desire)

½-¾ lb medium mushrooms, sliced


LET’S GET COOKING!


Preheat oven to 350f

Boil green beans in water until soft (7-10 minutes)

Combine green beans, milk, condensed soup, soy sauce, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl

Place in a ceramic casserole dish

Bake for 30-35 minutes, until bubbly

Remove from oven, stir

Top with crispy onions, bake until golden brown

Put in your mouth hole and enjoy!


Notes:
You can top this casserole with cheese (cheddar recommended) to add some extra goodness

I sauteed my mushrooms because I wasn’t sure how they’d cook from raw in the casserole
