Has become a new family tradition for Holidays both Thanksgiving and Christmas! I did use a bit more bacon the second time around though and my son liked that more.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

How to Toast Nuts

Toasting nuts adds crunch and intensifies their flavor. To toast nuts in the microwave, place up to 1 cup nuts in microwaveable shallow dish. Microwave on HIGH until fragrant and crisp, stirring every 30 sec.

Substitute

Use apple juice instead of apple cider.

It was very good. It was a little sweet but had a great flavor.

This was a flop at my Thanksgiving dinner. Thought I would do something different then the normal saute with bacon and onions and no one liked it. Won't make it again.

I really wasn't sure how these would be, but they turned out so good!! My husband and daughter loved them - will definitely make again!

The only food that I didn't care for "was" brussels sprouts. So I've tried to fix them different ways so I would like them because I know they are good for you.Well thanks to this recipe I know I will eat them more often. My husband even liked them! Nice combination.

My husband absolutely loved this recipe. I used ham instead of bacon and it still had a great flavor. Next time I will use fresh sprouts versus raw-the texture was mushy.

What a great recipe! I used turkey bacon to make it more healthy. Absolutely wonderful, those with kids, your children will eat this! It's sweet, the cider flavor pulls through. I paired my dish with a homemade mac and cheese (my favorite) and I finished the brussel sprouts first!
