I can hardly believe it, but the holidays are here! This will be our first Thanksgiving in Pennsylvania and my parents and sister’s family will be coming to visit! I am a huge believer in having a table full of food: a turkey, a ham and lots of side dishes. Truth be told, I am always the most excited about the side dishes.

I believe Thanksgiving dinner, and all of the preparation that goes into it, is a family affair. So, whether that means sharing the cooking and kitchen duties with my mother and sister, or even giving the kids something to do to help, we get everyone involved.

Brussels sprouts are a family favorite. Even my kids love them. The key, I believe, is seasoning them well and roasting them. Add some bacon, and you have a winning combination.

The key to making this Brussels Sprouts with Bacon Casserole even more delicious is Land O Lakes® Butter with Canola Oil. I love using this in my cooking because it’s made with only three ingredients: sweet cream, canola oil and salt, and it’s delicious! I think it helps to add so much wonderful flavor.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON CASSEROLE

For this recipe, you are sautéing and browning the Brussels sprouts in the Land O Lakes® Butter with Canola Oil. It’s so delicious! This casserole also has mushrooms, shallots and garlic. In every step of the recipe, you are building upon the flavor and everything ends with the cheese being sprinkled on top, along with some crispy bacon bits, before the casserole goes into the oven.

I hope you check out this delicious recipe and add it to your Thanksgiving Day menu. Wishing everyone a very joyous and food-filled Thanksgiving Day!

  then top with both cheeses*, the bacon bits and the panko.
