Ingredients

1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk, warmed
1/4 cup shredded cheddar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch cayenne

Directions

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Place Brussels sprouts in saucepan with enough water to cover. Add juice. Simmer, uncovered, 8 to 10 minutes, until tender. Drain.

Meanwhile, melt butter in small saucepan. Stir in flour; cook 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk; cook, whisking, until sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Stir in cheese, salt, pepper, nutmeg and cayenne.

Transfer Brussels sprouts to a 1-quart casserole. Pour sauce over top. Bake in for 20 minutes or until heated through.

I made this baker with fresh steamed squash from a neighbors garden and smothered it with the cheese sauce (episode CE1A20)... that is supposed to go with brussels. The whole family LOVED it! Thanks Food Network for another fab recipe. (No, I don't want to know how many calories that was!)Read more

I don't know why I had never thought to serve cheese sauce with brussel sprouts. I put cheese on cabbage so it stand to... reason that brussel sprouts would be delicious as well. My family devoured this dish. ThanksRead more

Even Snooty Foodies Will Love This
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made a fabulous Christmas dinner for friends this year & this dish was on my menu. I basically made it for myself & my... husband because we love brussel sprouts. I hoped the others would enjoy it but, considering the bad rap brussel sprouts get, I made other sides for insurance. I was surprised to see that our friends, who had snubbed their nose up at this dish initially, devoured the entire thing. I was impressed. These friends consider themselves culinary experts so, bravo! I will be making this dish alot!Read more
