Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Cheese
Ingredients
4 cups small, fresh Brussels sprouts
2 tablespoons margarine
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1 tablespoon flour
6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
Trim the bottoms off of the Brussels sprouts. Cook in boiling water until tender, about nine to 10 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Pour them into a lightly-buttered casserole dish.
Melt the margarine in a skillet. Add the green onions and garlic, and cook until soft, about four minutes. Add the flour and continue to cook one more minute. Add the reserved water, bacon, salt and pepper. Bring to boil and cook until sauce has thickened. Pour over the Brussels sprouts. Top with the cheese and breadcrumbs.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes or until the top is lightly browned.
