Can a brussel sprout actually taste good? I was asked this question recently by a confirmed veggie hater. Yes, I told her, absolutely they can, if covered in cheese! (Ok, I know that cheese makes everything taste better, but stay with me here…)

If you also hate veggies, or have kids that hate veggies, I can almost guarantee they’ll eat this recipe without too many complaints. It’s great for a weeknight meal because it uses few ingredients and cooks in a flash. I love to serve it with tilapia and mashed potatoes.

I make mine with fresh sprouts, but frozen is always an option. Be flexible with whatever you have on hand.

To cook Sautéed Brussel Sprouts with Cheese, you will need:

*  1 lb Fresh sprouts, washed and halved

*  2 TBS. Olive Oil

*  1/3 Cup water

*  Salt/Pepper to taste

*  1 Cup shredded cheddar cheese

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add Brussels sprouts and salt/pepper. Cook, 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently.  Add water and cook until evaporated, about 3 minutes. Sprouts should now be crisp-tender, and the cheese should be added. When cheese is melted, remove to plate and serve immediately.

Tasty, healthy, good!
