My family loves Brussels sprouts and I do too. I make them for supper and it is so easy to make it. They are so delicious and tasty.

Lisa's right, these roasted Brussels sprouts are delicious and tasty. Plus, it's super easy to prepare. The Brussels are tender and have a delicious savory flavor (thanks to butter, garlic, and diced onion). Our favorite part, though, are the crispy bits of smoky bacon in every bite. This makes a wonderful side dish.
