52: Roasted Brussel Sprouts in a Creamy Mustard Sauce

This is the day we've all been waiting for.. #52!  And being that tomorrow is New Year's Eve, I would say I pushed it out as long as possible.  But I am giving you an extra just for kicks (see post here)
I thought about what I should make for this monumental occasion, but came up with nothing super special, just Roasted Brussel Sprouts in a Creamy Mustard Sauce.  

Ingredients:

1 lb brussel sprouts, quartered
3 strips bacon
Olive oil
S&P
1 tbsp butter
1/2 onion, diced
2 tbsp flour
3/4 cup skim milk
3 tbsp mustard
2 tbsp grated parmesan/romano cheese

The How To:
Preheat your oven to 400
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, spread the brussel sprouts 
Spray with some olive oil and season with S&P
Cook for about 20 minutes
While you are waiting on those, go ahead and cook the bacon
When they are done dry them off with a paper towel and clean your pan
Add the butter to your pan, and add the onion
Let it saute for about 5 minutes
Add the garlic and let that cook for about two minutes
Mix in the flour and let it cook for about two more minutes - stirring continuously
Mix in the milk, mustard, cheese, brussels and bacon and let it cook for a couple more minutes


This was so delicious, we really never wanted it to end.  This recipe could easily be turned into a main, with some chicken added.  I have a feeling this recipe will have a remix!
